To build a global community of individuals and their institutions who, through their time, talents and resources, aim to secure the future of these children. We hope to achieve this by building the capacity of community-based organisations across South Africa to meet the basic needs of children in their own communities.

Starfish Greathearts Foundation is an international development charity, aiming to bring life, hope and opportunity to orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa. We believe that everyone anywhere can make a very real difference to the lives of these children. Starfish was founded by a group of young friends in a London coffee shop in 2001. The charity has been actively inspiring and mobilising individuals in various fields of influence ever since. In the last five years, thousands of people across the globe have caught the Starfish vision, contributing to the community-based care that we're providing for over 25,000 children in South Africa.
