What We Do
Friends of Project Sunwave USA mobilizes resources, partnerships, and advocacy in the United States to strengthen youth upliftment programs around the world, starting with our flagship partner, Project Sunwave South Africa.
Our Purpose in the United States
Friends of Project Sunwave USA exists to serve as the U.S-based hub for fundraising, partnership development, and global campaign creation.
While our youth programs are delivered by trusted local partners on the ground, our role in the United States is to connect people, organizations, and resources to where they can make the greatest impact.
We believe meaningful change happens when local leadership is supported by global collaboration.

Expanding Our Global Footprint
As we grow, we plan to support similar youth upliftment programs in additional countries. Our vision is to replicate this model in more countries, supporting community-led youth upliftment programs that align with our mission and values.

Our South African Affiliate
Friends of Project Sunwave works in close affiliation with Project Sunwave NPC, a registered nonprofit based in Lambert’s Bay, South Africa. Project Sunwave NPC is our on-the-ground implementation partner, delivering youth development programs focused on water safety, education, wellbeing, and skills development in under-resourced coastal communities.
The US organization exists to support, fund, and strengthen this work through governance, fundraising, and international partnerships.
Why It Matters
Millions of young people face barriers to education, mentorship, and opportunity.
By connecting U.S-based support with community-led programs abroad, Friends of Project Sunwave helps remove those barriers across the world
