Female surfing in Busua / Ghana
Surfing in Ghana started and has gained popularity as a male
sport. We started a program to encourage girls and young women to
surf in 2017. People even told us that the girls wouldn't be able
to do it. There were a lot of negative comments from people in our
community. Our team thinks it's wise to train girls as well. Our
programm gives them a perspective and helps to reduce teenage
pregnancies.
So we started training young local girls for swimming and surfing.
At the moment, we have about 15 girls in the training program.
Aditionally, all these girls are enrolled in school and with that,
more and more girls now seem more confident to learn how to surf
and swim. Now, more and more locals would like to enroll their
children in the surfing programm. Due to lack of amenities;
surfboards, leashes, waxes, training equipment, swimming
equipment, learning tools such as laptops, tablets, and anything
to enhance their academic performance and skills either used or
new; we can’t admit anyone else at the moment.
We therefore appeal to you: we would like to extend this program
in our own, as well as other nearby communities and villages to
help these girls who often fall prey to teenage pregnancies. With
the helpf og the internet, we can provide education and improve on
their skills and training in surfing and swimming.
Additionally, we also plan to acquire a place for these girls
where they get to keep their surfboards and other training
equipment. This place should also serve as a study hall or library
for them after school. We thank you very much for your support to
make this come true.
