Special project in collaboration with Hand in Hand, financed by Svenska Postkodlotteriet

Girls and young women in South Africa are affected by a certain unfortunate combination of prejudices and poverty. Their vulnerability can be measured in eg. diseases, unwanted pregnancies, rape victims and sexual exploitation. But the girls themselves feel the vulnerability in terms of broken hopes for a better future. We know. We have been working with adolescents in the region since 2005.
Within the framework of our existing holistic health promotion program in South Africa and Namibia, the project “Daughters of Africa” will contribute to innovative thinking, greater capacity and new specific efforts to strengthen the situation of teenage girls in school and their opportunities for financial independence thereafter.

Feel free to follow the project – both here on this site but also in our social channels! If you want to know more about the project or how you can contribute contact Katrin Meyer, Project Manager ( katrin@starforlife.se ) or Patric Salmonsson, Fundraiser ( patric@starforlife.se ). </ p>
