From childhood dreams
to professional life
The school programme
Star for Life was launched in 2005 in a school in Hluhluwe in north-eastern South Africa, and although we are now an international organisation, our goal is the same – to support children and young people through their school years.
While teachers focus on teaching, Star for Life’s coaches are on hand to work with students’ self-esteem, integrity, dreams and goals. Through workshops, exercises and music, children and young people learn about everything from puberty, consent, sexual and reproductive health, relationships and hygiene to study discipline, empowerment, respect for others , creative expression and entrepreneurship.
Our unique programme strengthens the learners’ self-esteem and motivates them to invest in their education and make wise life decisions. The aim is to replace destructive behaviors with positive ones and help learners realise their dreams, step by step. In this way, young people can more easily build a better future for themselves and, as adults, contribute to a more equal, fair and sustainable society.
Our coaches
The most important employees in Star for Life are our coaches. They are the ones who meet the learners daily in the classrooms, follow them through the school years and earn their trust. On this page you will meet those who make our work possible.
