Find out more about our projects:
Stars for Africa supports three partner schools with more than 1.400 students in and around Arusha. Recent projects include the renovation of two classrooms and the provision of hundreds of books as well as sport and music equipment.
Since 2021, we have also been supporting partner schools in South Africa, among other things by providing a hot meal for up to 100 children per school day. In addition, we finance the further education of students with our SFA Scholarships.
SFA 2024/25
Focus topics: Scholarships, safety & female empowerment
Last year, we launched our SFA scholarship program with eight highly ambitious students who are already making remarkable strides.
For 2026, our goal is to expand the program – supporting even more young men and women in Cape Town by giving them access to higher education. 💼✨
With your donation, we can continue to fund the education of these brightest and most talented students, empowering them to shape their futures and communities. 🌍💛

Did you know? Up to 7 million South African girls miss school every month because of their period. 💔
We’re on a mission to change this at Simonsberg Primary School by providing grade 6 & 7 girls with locally produced, reusable sanitary pad kits that last 4-5 years.
For just ~15€, you can ensure one girl never has to miss school again because of her cycle. 🎒✨
Let’s keep girls in school and unlock their full potential. 💪🌍

Our scholarship recipients Jessica (left) and Shakeeni (right) in January 2023, both on their first day of high-school. What began with two students in 2023 has grown into a thriving program that provides education, security and long-term opportunity for already six more students.
Thanks to the generous donations of Stars for Africa, these young women and men can continue their education.

Additional projects in Tanzania & South Africa
Access to education shouldn’t be hindered by a lack of school supplies. 📚
At Stars for Africa, we provide school supply packs to children whose education is at risk due to limited or no access to stationery. These packs help ensure that every child can participate fully in their learning journey.

Since March 2022, our cafeteria project has been providing daily meals to up to 100 students in need.
With your help, we can continue supplying the ingredients needed to serve warm, nutritious meals every school day. These meals do more than fill stomachs – they give students the energy to learn and thrive. 🥘💪

We believe that those closest to the students know their needs best. 💡 That’s why Stars for Africa addresses ad-hoc requests from our partner schools and institutions.
Whether it’s a new project, urgent need, or unique opportunity, we’re ready to step in and make a difference where it’s most needed. 🌟

Our partner schools in Tanzania & South Africa
We are proud to support multiple schools in
Tanzania & South Africa:
Tanzania & South Africa:
- Nadosoito Primary SchoolArusha, Tanzania
With more than 650 students, this school is in urgent need of better infrastructure. With barely any rain protection due to the broken roofs, the rainy season is a big challenge for the children of Nadosoito. - Simonsberg Primary SchoolCape Town, South Africa
Having established a strong partnership with permanent onsite projects, Simonsberg is home to various bright South African students whom we are not only supporting with warm meals, but also with scholarships to provide access continued education. - Shining Star Primary SchoolArusha, Tanzania
New classrooms are urgently needed to accommodate the growing number of students. Due to a lack of funding, classes 6 & 7 are not in operation. There is also no access to running water or electricity in the washrooms. - Playway Primary SchoolCape Town, South Africa
Being situated in an especially impoverished neighbourhood in Cape Town, the small Playway Primary School is in need of particular support from the Stars for Africa community. - Losiyo Primary SchoolArusha, Tanzania
Even though this school has 450 students, there is not a single computer or photocopier available. When combined with a lack of books, this means that students have to copy every piece of information from the board, which is highly inefficient. - Buffelskloof Primary SchoolBuffelskloof, South Africa
Living far away from the larger cities of South Africa, the Buffelskloof Primary School usually serves its students as the only access point to the outside world. We work towards providing at least some kids with the chance to receive further education upon finishing primary school.
How you can support us:
We have just started! Our operations in South Africa & Tanzania are expanding. With your donation, you can support both ongoing and future projects to provide more students with (better) access to education & improved study conditions.
