The theme for this year’s Nelson Mandela Day is "We still have the power to fight poverty and injustice.".

CAP is taking this opportunity to highlight the "What Colour is Your Day" public awareness and education campaign as part of its commitment to public service.

Thanks to a very generous donation from Aloe Unique, a business located in Cape Town, CAP is now able to provide coloured flags and air quality monitors to participating schools.

Soon the public will be seeing brightly coloured green, yellow, orange, red, and purple flags. These flags will indicate the local air quality of a collocated monitor, with good, moderate, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, and very unhealthy advisory warnings.

Winter on the KZN North Coast means that a substantial number of the 4 million residents will experience poor air quality and associated health issues.

We believe that our program will address some of these inequities.

Section 24 of our Constitution says, “Everyone has the right to an environment that is not harmful to their health or well-being”.

CAP is a registered Non-Profit and Public Benefit Organisation and can issue S18A tax certificates.
