Our projects
SfL Girls Clubs
South Africa & namibia
In an ideal world, girls everywhere would enjoy the same opportunities and rights as boys. Unfortunately, far too many girls are born into lives marked by inequality, abuse, and domestic violence. We aim to change this. Therefore, our Girls Clubs focus entirely on self-esteem, consent, women’s health and entrepreneurship. Our long-term goal is to nurture a new generation of strong and independent women.
SfL Boys Clubs
South Africa
Through our Boys Clubs, Star for Life supports young men in choosing education, self-worth, and positive life paths. Participants learn about mental and emotional health, respect, healthy masculinities, and consent, while receiving guidance to pursue their goals. Our goal is to help nurture a new generation of responsible, confident, young men.
