SurfAid is a non-profit organization based in Australia that focuses on improving health outcomes for women and children in remote, isolated communities connected to surfing. The organization targets areas with high maternal and child mortality, leveraging simple health practices such as hand washing before delivery, exclusive breastfeeding, and better nutrition to drive long-term behavior change within communities. SurfAid’s model centers on partnering with each community to develop locally driven solutions, adopting a hand up rather than hand out approach. The group operates within the broader non-profit sector and positions itself in the heartlands of surfing, where access and visitation are limited, to deliver health initiatives that benefit families connected through surfing. Recent developments include partnerships and events such as collaborations with surfing brands and initiatives like the SurfAid Cup, which aim to raise awareness and funds for health programs in the Solomon Islands and Indonesia.
