About Starchild

Starchild was set up by Michaela Foster Marsh in memory of her adopted brother Frankie Marsh. The aim of Starchild is to help bring aid to Orphaned children in Uganda.

“Frankie’s parents were both Ugandan. He was adopted into our family at 13 months old, the same age as myself. Sadly he died in a house fire at the age of 27 years.

Starchild believes that every child deserves to be loved, cared for, clothed, fed and educated. With over two and a half million orphans in Uganda, sadly, many of these babies and children have no one to provide even their basic needs.

Starchild’s main goal is to help bring aid to Uganda’s most vulnerable orphans.”
