Why are we promoting HOOPSIG, you might be asking...

At Sheltersuit SA Foundation we believe that great relationships lead to great partnerships that have multi-dimensional impact.
We share our latest partnership with you:

Adventure Awaits: Help Us Bring Warmth and Hope to West Coast Paternoster Youth

In the heart of South Africa’s West Coast, where the Atlantic breeze meets resilient communities, a transformative opportunity is taking shape. We are thrilled to announce a powerful new collaboration between our local NGO, Sheltersuit SA and Paternoster Project Hoopsig to launch the Adventure Enrichment Camp and we need your help to make it a reality.

For many under-resourced youth in our region, "adventure" is often a concept reserved for screens or stories. Our mission is to change that by providing a safe, immersive, and life-altering outdoor experience that builds leadership, resilience, and a deep connection to nature.

The Collaboration with Paternoster project, Hoopsig: More Than Just a Camp

This isn’t just a weekend away; it’s a holistic approach to youth development. By partnering with Sheltersuit SA, we are integrating world-class functional protection with outdoor education. The learners from Hoopsig who have been selected for the camp, have already shown leadership, teamwork and discipline. This outdoor adventure is part of a reward system for more than 15 youth have successfully obtained in obtaining the points from the Rstar Paternoster Hoopsig Jiu Jitsu club.
Sheltersuit SA Foundation have supplied 20 shelterbags custom made for young children.
With your help, we can provide wider support for youth development enrichment camps.
