Using surfing as a drawcard and catalyst for transformation and empowerment, 9Miles Project (a community-based nonprofit organisation situated in Cape Town, South Africa) provides safe spaces and structured afterschool programmes for at-risk children and youth in vulnerable and impoverished communities. It also offers mentorship, job creation, skills development, and holistic support to vulnerable youth and their families.
Surfing is used as a form of therapy and empowerment which allows us to engage vulnerable children in wholesome structured programmes,and encourages healthy lifestyles & positive coping mechanisms. It also instills a love and respect for the ocean.
