Surfers Not Street Children empowers street-connected and at-risk children through surfing, mentorship and care. Founded in Durban in 1998, our award-winning programmes support young people in communities across South Africa and Mozambique, helping them build confidence, find belonging and create positive futures.

Surfing is the vehicle, not the destination. Through surfing, mentorship and care, we help young people build confidence, find belonging and create brighter futures. We believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.
