Join our groundswell and create a wave of change
By giving a child access to #SurfTherapy you’re also giving them a safe space of support, connection, and healing. Surf Therapy is an evidence-based mental health programme designed to help children develop adaptive skills to cope with stress caused by repeated exposure to violence and adversity.
Just R180 covers all the essentials for one Surf Therapy session. For every session YOU donate, one of our Partners will donate another!
That’s double the impact with one donation.
