We provide free swimming lessons and environmental education about clean water stewardship to underprivileged children who live along the earth’s open water: rivers, lakes and oceans.

Story

This already successful programme runs for two to six weeks during the first two months of the year. We work closely with our NGO partners, local volunteers, environmental educators and surfers during the local children's summer holiday season.

Our partner organization, Otra Cosa Network, runs a year-round volunteer programme serving the needs women and children living in Huanchaco and surrounding shantytowns. Their HELP programs improve literacy, environmental education, sports, and girl empowerment. Another partner is Boqueron Surf School, one of many surf schools in Huanchaco with the unique mission to teach the poorest children surfing as a life skill.
