SURF & YOGA foundation
Let’s make a difference, Together.
What is SURF & YOGA foundation?
We have been doing community projects on and off in each different locations, but we thought “let’s bring all of this under one umbrella”, hence Surf & Yoga Foundation is born.
Each of our retreats have affiliated with a community project in the local neighbourhood.
Our local team has visited and verified all these projects personally and some of us are personally involved in the projects as well.
We welcome you to make your contribution via our booking page when you create a booking in each of our locations by purchasing a donation voucher.
projects that we support
BEACH CLEAN UPS IN LOCAL BEACHES.
Local beach clean ups have been an integral part of our Mirissa retreat since the start in 2016. With donations, you can help us install more collection bins, educate more youngsters in schools, and free our beaches of harmful trash.
SUPPORTING THE LOCAL SCHOOL.
The local schools in Arugam Bay is one of the only schools in the area that need many help in terms of sports equipment, fixing repairs, educational programmes about plastic pollution. Your contribution will go towards uplifting facilities at the school.
PROTECTING ALGARVE BEACHES FROM ALIEN SEAWEED.
Algarve beaches are getting infested with alien seasweed. Our aim is to work with Sciaena to educate surfers and surf schools to educate them to take better care of the ocean.
Our camp is next to a village owned farm which is struggling with water and resources. We will be helping them to expand the farm and thereby enabling them to have a bigger harvest to share.
BEACH CLEAN UPS AND EDUCATION THROUGH ART.
liina is an environmental artist using colour-bomb techniques to blow your visual radar. Saturated rivers and rainbows emerge against stunning vistas, coaxing you into a surreal dream only to discover that they are created from rubbish. Your contribution will support her foundation to educate and make an impact in people’s lives.
EQUAL RIGHTS FOR BLIND SURFERS.
This project is inspired by our lovely guest Mei Lan. Blinds surfers are always depended on private surf lessons – our goal is to equalise the pricing of the lessons with our collaborating surf schools around the world & support them with this fundraising pot to stay with us reducing the higher cost.
TRASH MANAGEMENT SYTEM FOR MULAH.
The island of Mulah, our home in Maldives, has a serious trash problems. We are working with the council to install trash bins around the island and educate school children about the importance of proper waste management. Our goal is to uplift the trash management of the island with the help of the council and our guests.
SUPPORTING THE LOCAL SCHOOL.
We’re excited to invite you to join us in making a positive impact in our neighborhood. We’re launching a fundraising program to support a local school in Sukadana, which serves around 250 students who currently face significant challenges with basic resources.
