Mission Statement
SurfAid is a non-profit humanitarian organisation whose aim is to improve the health, wellbeing and self-reliance of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing.
About This Cause
For over 20 years, SurfAid’s core mission has been to save the lives of women and children in remote areas that are connected to us through surfing. We work in Indonesia’s surfing heartlands – theMentawai, Nias, Sumba and Sumbawa and in 2019, SurfAid launched two new programs in the Solomon Islands and Baja, Mexico. In these extremely isolated areas where few visitors except surfers go, mothers and children are faced with some of the highest mortality rates in the world.Up to 70% of these deaths can be prevented by improving access to the core elements of SurfAid’s Mother and Child Health Programs, clean water &sanitation, basic healthcare and nutrition. We work with communities on long-term behavior change through our “hand up, not a hand out” approach. Our local staff provide advice, training and expertise, but it is up to the community to implement the initiatives and embrace change. We provide a mix of practical support, education and health promotion that aims to change poor health behaviors into positive behaviors.
