Star for Life Norway

Star for Life Norway is an independent fundraising foundation that raises funds for some Star for Life schools in South Africa.

Key fundraising activities include the charity race Dream Challenge in Lillesand, concerts, and an annual Christmas campaign that reaches out to Norwegian companies and individuals who want to make a difference for young people in southern Africa. The work is led by Country Director Jørgen Klafstad.

Our projects

At Star for Life, we design and implement projects that create lasting change in the lives of young people and their communities.

Girls Clubs

South Africa & namibia

Too many girls grow up facing poverty, stigma, abuse, and gender-based violence. Through our Girls Clubs, Star for Life creates safe spaces where girls can learn, grow, and speak freely about empowerment, bodily integrity, consent, health, and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to raise a new generation of strong and independent women.

Our work in Norway

To ensure that Star for Life’s school programme creates real and lasting impact, we continuously monitor and evaluate our work and share the results with our partners. This work is led by our Research Director, doctor Per Strand, PhD.
