Surfaid Non-Profit Humanitarian Organisation
Surfaid is a non-profit organisation whose aim is to improve the health, well-being and self-reliance of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing.
From Surfaid;
Started by a group of concerned surfers in 2000 who were struck by the needless suffering and preventable death in the Mentawai Islands. Today we are proud that more than 95 per cent of our program staff are Indonesian nationals who work hand-in-hand with the communities of Western Sumatra, Sumbawa and Sumba, to bring about positive, sustainable health change while respecting the unique culture and customs of these islands communities.
