About Starfish
When was Starfish Greathearts Foundation formed?
The Starfish Greathearts Foundation was founded in the UK in 2001, by a group of ex-
pat South African friends who wanted to make a difference to the lives of children orphaned
or made vulnerable through the HIV/AIDS pandemic in South Africa. They started out by
raising funds to make memory bags for orphans in Kwazulu-Natal. In 2002 two of the
friends, Anthony Farr and Tracey Webster, returned to South Africa to formally establish
Starfish Greathearts Foundation in South Africa and registered the Foundation as a section 21
company (2003/002865/08).
FACT # 1
How many orphaned children are there in South Africa?
Approximately 21% of the country’s 18.5 million children are affected by HIV, with over
2 million children left orphaned, with the number of children with neither a mother nor father having more than doubled since 2002.
60% of children are living in poverty where the monthly per capita income is less than R575.
(The South African Child Gauge 2012).
FACT # 2
What is Starfish Greathearts Foundation’s value proposition?
Starfish exists to support children orphaned or made vulnerable throughout South Africa by
strengthening community-based responses to provide basic services to the children they
support. Starfish forms a vital link between donors and these organisations and aims to mobilise and
inspire a global community to make a difference … one child at a time.
