Steven is a local surfer in Bureh Beach, Sierra Leone, with a clear vision: to start a Christian Surfers group that helps young surfers grow in faith, community, and purpose.
Last year, Billa — a South African who is working with Mercy Ships in Freetown, reached out to us. He had met Steven, saw his heart, and shared the story with Groundswell Aid.
We believe in supporting local leaders who are ready to serve their own communities. We want to stand behind Steven and walk with him as he begins this new chapter.
The boards for this project are coming from RYD UK, and we’re grateful to see Christian Surfers UK embrace Sierra Leone by collaborating in the fundraising efforts for the final stretch: shipping the boards to Bureh Beach.
Through a grant application and a partnership with RYD UK, a full set of surfboards is ready. These boards will allow Steven to run surf sessions, start a club, and create a sustainable, faith-based space for the next generation.
We would like to also make you part of this story by helping us with the final stretch in shipping the boards to Sierra Leone, to help Steven impact his local beach community.
We’re now raising £2,105 to cover the distance of shipping of 2610 miles from the UK to Bureh Beach:
International shipping
Customs clearance into Sierra Leone
This is a kingdom investment in people, purpose, and place.
