Autism is not a limitation; it’s a unique way of experiencing the world.
During Autism Awareness Month, The Star Foundation donated R95,600 towards Action in Autism – a non-profit organization that advocates for the rights of people with Autism. This will go towards their gym room with sensory-friendly equipment and equipment for the catering & hospitality program for their industrial kitchen.

The organization’s objective is to improve the life of people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) by building partnerships between them, their families and the community to provide information, services, learning and research in Durban North.
