ABOUT US

TEACH THE NATION TO ROW

“Sport has a unique power to relay important messages, foster cultural inclusion and tolerance and bridge a divided society.”

Indoor rowing was introduced in 2007 to drive rowing development in South Africa and focuses on previously disadvantaged areas. The focus is not only on the school that runs the programme, but to ensure sustainability it also involves the parents and the community at large.

GOAL OF THE PROJECT

Talent identification and transformation

The goal of the project was to use indoor rowing as a vehicle for talent identification and transform the sport of rowing across age, gender and disability.

TRANSFORM LIVES

Positive impact on young, disadvantaged South Africans

Even more importantly, this sport has given young, disadvantaged South Africans who have grown-up with enormous hardships and day-to-day challenges, an outlet which helps them build their self-esteem, enjoy camaraderie with friends, and appreciate the physical health benefits of exercising hard and eating well.

TEACH LIFE SKILLS

Form societal bonds

Teaching these young people discipline, commitment and healthy living will form strong societal bonds in our diverse community in South Africa and encourage their success in the future.

Time has come to take indoor rowing to the next level

We want to convert some of these clubs into water rowing clubs. To do this these clubs need rowing boats, oars, coach boats and boat trailers. The South African Rowing Development fund has been established to raise funds to assist these clubs in moving to the next level of rowing. Together we will not only teach a nation to row, we will build a united South Africa committed to the development and success of all its people.
