STARS FOUNDATION Founded in 2001 by Al-Dabbagh Group and based in London, Stars Foundation is an independent charity investing in organisations and ideas that transform the lives of disadvantaged children and their communities globally. Stars Foundation’s Award programmes support strong locallyled civil society organisations responding to the needs of underserved children. Stars offers its awardees flexible funding, capacity building support and helps them amplify their messages to broaden their visibility and to access other sector leaders and funders.

To date, Stars has awarded 170 outstanding community-based organisations in more than 60 countries, working with over 5 million people. Stars has committed to reach 20 million people by 2020 – a pledge cemented by our Founding Chairman His Excellency Amr Al-Dabbagh at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2012. Stars is also supporting Al-Dabbagh Group companies as they launch their Game-Changing Initiatives (GCI) to innovate and invest in the products and ideas that will help change the world. By bringing together philanthropy, business and centres of research and technical expertise, this programme will help contribute to Stars’ long-term goals of improving the lives of children. http://www.starsfoundation.org.uk/ 139
