Support Our Work

Your contribution helps us provide ocean education, therapy, and leadership opportunities to children and youth from underserved coastal communities. Every donation goes directly toward programme delivery covering essentials such as meals, transport, equipment, and coach training.

We are a registered Public Benefit Organisation, and all donations are tax-deductible under Section 18A.

Where your donation goes

Every contribution directly supports our programmes and the children and communities we serve. Your donation helps us to:

  • Deliver ocean education and therapy sessions that are free and accessible to all participants.

  • Provide transport, meals, and gear so that every child can participate safely, regardless of their background.

  • Train and employ local youth as ocean coaches, creating meaningful jobs and building long-term community capacity.

  • Expand inclusion through our Special Needs Programme, using adaptive equipment and tailored coaching.

  • Maintain and develop our site in Hout Bay — a safe, welcoming space for ocean-based learning and community connection.

  • Support ongoing monitoring and evaluation to ensure our work remains effective, accountable, and transparent.

Every donation makes a tangible impact, helping young people build confidence, skills, and connection through the ocean.
