Waves for Change X Mami Wata

Through a period of great change, one of the things that remains steadfast is Mami Wata’s commitment to supporting the incredible work done by Waves for Change (W4C). 

African surf has the power to change lives. One of the ways that we hope to harness this power is by giving 2% of all sales back to African surf. An act of symbiosis. Afrosurfonomics in action.

Waves for Change is a non-profit organisation that provides mental wellness support, through the medium of surf and other evidence-based activities, to adolescents growing up in high-stress environments.  

In addition to the 2,800 young people who attend the surf therapy programme annually, W4C also creates employment through surf coaching opportunities.

Muminah Cornelius, 23, has been at W4C since 2023, first as a coach, then as a training coach. She told us about her work, about how the swelling numbers of women attending the programme is changing the surf landscape, and about her own personal growth.
