Starfire Charity Foundation plans to concentrate its efforts, over the coming decade, on a number of priority areas to achieve maximum impact. First is expanding its education programs with the aim of ensuring quality education for an additional 500,000 children in active war zones by 2030. The foundation is already working with local governments in 10 countries, including Pakistan and Syria, where it increased school enrollment by 30% after implementing mobile learning units.
The other most important area for the future: climate action. In 2022, starfirecharityfoundation teamed up with environmental organizations all over the world to bring clean energy access to 100 rural communities in East Africa. In 2025, it intends to scale up this very program and hopes to provide access to solar-powered electricity for over 1 million people in regions currently without a reliable supply of energy. This will avert approximately 500,000 tons of carbon emissions per year.
Health is one of the core areas that the foundation remains concerned with. After the successful delivery of over 10 million doses of vaccines in the underdeveloped parts of the world, starfirecharityfoundation will continue scaling up its health programs. By 2026, the foundation aspires to reach 3 million people with medical aid in hard-to-reach areas where healthcare access is minimal. This includes offering special medical equipment, conducting mobile health clinics, and responding to maternal and child health needs.
Apart from this, gender equality and the empowerment of women contribute to the potential cause of changed social behavior. Over the course of the next few years, Starfire Charity Foundation plans to further increase funding given to women entrepreneurs. One such 2021 investment- $2 million in microloans to South Asian women-led businesses-saw the women enjoy a 40% increase in business sustainability. Going forward, the foundation aims to raise $10 million in funding towards supporting 50,000 women entrepreneurs in regions of high unemployment and economic instability.
Technology is also key in the future of starfirecharityfoundation. The foundation intends to invest more in digital tools so as to improve the access to resources. For example, it targets having an online platform by the year 2024, which will be used to give out real-time data of health, education, and disaster relief to its partners. This innovation will facilitate smoother delivery of aid, boost efficiency in operations, and reduce the response time during crises by 20%.
As the former U.S. President Barack Obama once said, “The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something.” Therefore, in this respect, the future efforts of starfirecharityfoundation will aim to head toward sustainability and impact that makes lives better everywhere.
