On 11 October 2025, our 9Miles Project family hit the road for one of the most meaningful weekends of the year – CAB Day (Come and Buy ‘without money’) where love, laughter, and community connection filled the small coastal town of Elands Bay.
This July, a group of our Cape Town team members packed their bags, their surfboards, and their passion, and hit the road on a mission: to relaunch our St. Francis Bay project and ignite a wave of transformation for the local youth.
What happens when you gather 11 young people, a powerful curriculum backed by global leaders like Microsoft, McDonald’s, and Hilton, and the unwavering spirit of a community-based organization like 9Miles Project? You get transformation—real, lasting, game-changing transformation.
With a goal of raising R100,000, we were blessed to reach over an incredible R170,000 in support of surf therapy, education, and mentorship programmes for vulnerable youth.
Strandfontein Beach was buzzing with excitement on Saturday as 9Miles Project hosted South Africa’s inaugural 100 Wave Challenge—a high-energy community fundraiser that blended purpose, perseverance, and ocean-powered action.
Join Faieq as he takes on the #100WaveChallenge to raise R15,000 for the project that changed his life. His goal? To help other youth find purpose, just as he did.
