Using the successful combination of outreach, sport, temporary accommodation, psycho-social support, re-entry to education and home re-integration, this project will have a strong focus on supporting girls and young women, whilst continuing their outreach and street-connected work with boys. The project will result in 90 street girls re-integrated into a home setting, 70 child labourers re-entering formal/informal education, and 135 street-connected boys increasing their well-being. The wider community will also have a better understanding of the issues facing street connected children. The grant will fund Support Workers and an outreach team to deliver the project.

This project uses surfing as a way to engage street children in Durban, helping them leave the streets, receive physical and emotional care and learn new skills to prepare them for the future. Wherever possible, street children are supported to return to their families and communities. Work will also be done to, where possible, prevent at-risk children leaving home and making a life on the streets. The project results should be children living in more stable environments, improved confidence and well-being.
