Read more about the charities we supported in 2022 - Read more


We have raised just over R6million since 2006 and, in doing so, helped more than 20 charities in our community. The registered Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse ladies that walked in 2022 were able to raise funds for the main beneficiary Hermanus Child and Family services (R550,000) and SOFCA (R 450,000)


An additional +/-R40,000 was also donated to the different charities that applied to be the main Beneficiary - including Kleinmond Animal Welfare (KAWS), Waldorf Hermanus, IZIBUSIZO, Grootbos Foundation, Creative Skills Factory, Handevat Musiek Projek, Pebble Project, Panthere Africa and Hawston Health and Wellness Organisation.


Money cannot be raised without the support of our walkers – albeit the registered Lighthouse 2 Lighthouse Ladies or family or friends or community members. Your small contribution will make a big difference to the communities impacted by the charities we support in the Overstrand.
