Starfish Greathearts Foundation

Starfish Greathearts Foundation supports orphaned and vulnerable children in South Africa by working in partnership with community-based organisations. Its flagship project, the Starfish Wellness Wagon, is a mobile clinic that helps to mitigate challenges to accessing health care, such as long queues or inadequately staffed or resourced health facilities. The mobile clinic is staffed by a professional nurse and driver stationed at key points within the communities in which the foundation works forming an integral part of the broader provincial Department of Health network and referral system. Services include HIV testing, TB screening, family planning, growth monitoring, immunisation, the provision of over-the-counter medication, and Covid-19 screening.
