Summer Enrichment Programme (SEP)

📅 Dates: 28th July – 15th August 2025
⏰ Time: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (Monday–Friday)
🍽 What’s included: Free breakfast, lunch, and take-home groceries every week

This August, The StellaMaris Foundation proudly presents our Summer Enrichment Programme (SEP) — a three-week experience designed to bring joy, learning, and support to 30 children from families facing financial hardship.

For many, summer can be a time of loneliness, hunger, and missed opportunities. SEP changes that by offering:

A safe, nurturing space filled with creative, educational, and physical activities

Nutritious meals to fuel growing minds and bodies

Social connection, helping children build friendships and confidence

Relief for parents, who can stay in work knowing their children are well cared for

We believe every child deserves a summer where they feel valued, inspired, and cared for — and every family deserves the support they need to thrive.
