About Us

Our mission, story, and the people behind the foundation

Our Story

Reach for the Stars Foundation targets children and youth towards ensuring equitable outcomes for every child and young adult in need of care and protection. We focus on youth development and addressing challenges that are faced by children, youth, and young adults in community and at schools, such as gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, lack of learning materials and many other unforeseen challenges.

Our long-term goal is to change how both systems and families care for and invest in children and young adults, and we target stable middle-class adult outcomes for all the children we work with.

At Reach For The Stars Foundation, We believe that everyone deserves a decent standard of living. Equality of opportunity for everyone, without the necessity of putting oneself at risk to make ends meet. To lead a life where one's family and children are safe and secure. A life lived with honor and respect for oneself and others.

We believe that an acceptable standard of living may be attained. With our passion, diligence, and the support of our partners/ sponsors.
