Get Project Sunwave to the Beach

Before Project Sunwave, many children in Lamberts Bay had nowhere safe to go after school. No structured activities. No positive role models. Just long afternoons with too much time and too little direction.

This changed when a handful of women decided to do something about it, out of their own pockets, time, and a whole lot of heart.
