In some of South Africa’s most remote communities, support can be difficult to reach, but our social workers go the distance.

Each visit provides practical care, reassurance, and a pathway to the services every family deserves. 💙

Flooding in Cape Town caused significant damage to a school supported by Starfish. Thankfully, generous donors stepped in to cover the costs of urgent repairs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our generous donors for making this possible!

Cape Town winters can be cold, grey & wet. But when the winter sun comes out, the playground comes alive. A clear blue sky, a warm jacket & a bucket in the sandpit mean more than fun. They mean freedom to play, laugh & simply be a child. #StarfishGreathearts #StarfishSnapshot

What if your next dinner with friends could put food on a child’s plate? Gather for Good is a simple way to turn time around your table into something meaningful. Your friends gather & a child receives food. https://t.co/j9NqBgAyCt

For many children, this may be their only meal of the day. While families stretch every rand at home, a warm meal and snacks await at school. That’s your kindness in action, one full plate at a time.

For Nandi, your generosity reaches far beyond one happy moment. It means nutritious food, a safe place to learn and play, and healthcare when she needs it.

At a Starfish-supported preschool, outdoor play gives young children a safe place to move, explore, learn & simply enjoy being children. Thank you for giving children like Sibusiso space to grow, one pedal turn & joyful morning at a time. #starfishsnapshot #StarfishGreathearts

For nearly 1 in 8 South African children, hunger is part of daily life, and school breaks can mean losing the dependable meals they receive at school. Thank you for making it possible to send food home for children like Adam so they don't go hungry!

In South Africa, 81% of Grade 4 children cannot read for meaning. Through quality early education, Starfish is helping children build the skills they need to learn, grow, and create more opportunities for their future.

Recently, we met 5-year-old Anele, who drinks sugary soda on her way to school, not as a treat but because their water is too dirty to trust. This highlights why Social Welfare matters. It helps us understand the whole child & the tough choices families face #StarfishGreathearts

For many children in South Africa, a meal at school means more than a full stomach. It means they can focus in class, grow stronger, and have the energy to learn and play.
