WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT US

This is the perfect segment if you want a quick overview of what Lighthouse of Paterson is about, what we already achieved and what our goals for this year look like.

SUCCESSFULL PROJECT

Lighthouse for the win! 
On the 15th of June our annual charity game has taken place. This time FC Hill "Leo Hillinger's celebrity team" played against our national public service broadcaster Team "ORF". Find out who won and take a look at our video. The Lighthouse family is moving forwards - together!

OUR MISSION

We want to achieve better living standards for our community and especially for Paterson's children. We educate them about topics such as AIDS & HIV, environmental protection and drug & alcohol abuse. 
Sport is our strategy to keep them balanced and focused on school.

ONGOING PROJECT

We finally got a Lighthouse Headquarter! This is going to be the space where we can hold our presentations, meetings, accommodate volunteers and most importantly where Patersons youngest know they always can come to when they need help. We have a long way to go but we still think, together everything is possible!

    About every second person in South Africa is HIV positive and the rate of girls getting pregnant at the age of 12 is too high to be ignored or condoned. Lighthouse of Paterson knew from the beginning that this is one of the most important topics we had to educate our children about.
