Starlight Children's Foundation

Since being formed as an Australian children’s charity in 1988, Starlight has brightened the lives of seriously ill and hospitalised children, and their families, throughout Australia. We support them throughout their journey by providing the opportunity to be distracted from the pain and stress of their treatments and to simply be a child again, to experience special and often transformational moments and to be together as a family enjoying activities that those with well children often take for granted. Starlight programs are delivered both in and out of hospital, providing positive distraction to children in their time of need. Starlight delivers innovative programs designed to make children happy and lift their spirits when they need it most. We bring fun and laughter to children no matter what their illness or where they live.

Starlight Children's Foundation - Headquarters

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, the day-to-day joys of childhood take a back seat to the rigors of treatment and hospitalization. For more than 25 years, Starlight Children's Foundation has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with chronic and life-threatening illnesses. We understand what families go through when a child is sick, and how important it is to find relief from constant worry and isolation.

Stepping Stones For Africa Foundation

Stepping Stones for Africa is a Dutch charitable non-profit organisation. Our organisation was founded as a reaction on inspiring encounters in developing countries in Africa. Encounters with experts and dedicated individuals and organisations who are working hard in the field of poverty reduction and by their work contribute to better local living conditions. In their work, these individuals and organisations are confronted with all kinds of boundaries or a lack of means and because of that, cannot reach their goals. In our projects we focus on these inspired individuals and organisations. We want to work together with them and provide, find or be the ‘Stepping Stone’ to realisation of their ideals, dreams and goals.

Stepping Stones Nigeria

Stepping Stones Nigeria's (SSN) work saves, protects and transforms the lives of thousands of vulnerable and disadvantaged children. We are a small and effective charity that works from a child-rights approach. We are doing everything in our power to ensure that children in the Niger Delta get a proper education, healthcare, food and protection.

To this end we identify, nurture and support local community organisations to help the many children who need them. SSN partners with these organisations to make the world aware of the issues that the children they work with face on a daily basis, and pressures governments to fulfil their responsibilities to these children. All of our partner organisations are run by inspirational Nigerians whose work goes a long way to dispel the negative stereotypes that are often held by people from outside of Nigeria. They all share our commitment to upholding the highest standards in accountability, transparency and effective service delivery. Above all, these organisations work tirelessly to bring positive change to the lives of some of the most needy children on the planet.

Steve Biko Foundation

The Steve Biko Foundation is a community development organization inspired by the legacy of Bantu Stephen Biko. An examination of the leading South African institutions that have contributed to shaping national discourse, highlights the void that exists in promoting the intangible aspects of development: identity, culture and values, the issues that speak to the soul of a nation. Since its inception, the Steve Biko Foundation has sought to fill this gap; and in the coming decade will intensify its efforts to strengthen democracy by championing dialogue, scholarship and programmes on the relationship between identity, agency, citizenship and social action.

Stewart House

SHINE for Kids provides advocacy and various other services for the children of imprisoned parents and their families. A core focus in providing this support is our belief in the power of early intervention to stem some of the negative effects of parental imprisonment. These negative effects can include: family poverty, breakdown in family relationships, children's inability to thrive in a social and educational setting and discrimination faced by children and their families due to the imprisonment of a parent. These effects of imprisonment on children and their families can lead to a cycle of disadvantage for children and can also potentially result in children coming into contact with the criminal justice system themselves. Our goal is to address these issues and combat this potential cycle.

Stiching Lion King Bali

Singaraja (Lion King) a city in the north of Bali, Indonesia. Many people move to the south of Bali to find work in tourism. The former capital city has lost its function as harbour. Trade is diminishing and unemployment is becoming devastating for the city (gambling & alcohol). We supply food parcels, medicine and other things to many families in the slums. We continue trying to reach out for the street children offering them food and education. We run a medical clinic in Aceh, and an Old Folks Home in Singaraja (HWAP).
