The Paternoster Project NPC Hoopsig campaign supports the Mandela Day 2022 theme encouraging each resident of the Saldanha Bay municipal area to highlight the plight of food security and climate change with the tagline “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are”.

Winter has arrived, bringing rain and cold conditions to the West Coast.

For many it signals warm fires, steaming hot food and shelter. For many Paternoster kids and their families winter signals a time of hardship and food insecurity with less or no income. Residents on the West Coast can help 40 learners and their families with much-needed weekend food parcels for the next two months.
