Founded in 2010, Waves for Change is a South African non-profit company with a Head Office in Cape Town. With a focus on providing mental health support through Surf Therapy, which fuses the Take 5 Model with the rush of surfing, their intervention is a child-friendly, community-based mental health service for children who live in underserved communities with no other access to mental health support and who are at high risk of developing mental health conditions. 2,500 Children weekly, from 43 communities along the South African coastline, receive one Surf Therapy session per week for 10 months at one of the five beach sites across two provinces: Western Cape (Muizenberg, Monwabisi and Hout Bay) and Eastern Cape (Gqeberha and East London). They then graduate to the Surf Club, a weekly aftercare service that offers one surf therapy session per month until the age of 18. Meals are served to children after every session, and safe transport to and from the beach sites is provided.
