North Star Alliance is an international non-profit organization with regional offices in South and East Africa. North Star started as a practical industry response to an urgent health problem and has matured into a balanced approach that meets industry, public health and individual needs. North Star works at the crossroads of disease and mobility to ensure that highly mobile populations, especially truck drivers, sex workers and the communities that they interact with, have access to basic health and safety services. As at December 2017, North Star had established 53 clinics covering 10 countries on the African continent.
