We visit schools around the country teaching children about water safety, what to do in an emergency and how to do basic hands-on CPR.
We focus on children from poor communities, where access to information is limited and the need is great. These are the children most likely to drown. Our water safety lesson fits into one school period and teaches children in fun and interactive discussions.
Since the programme started in 2006, we have taught over 2 million children.
We were the proud runner up for an Outstanding Team Contribution in the International Maritime Rescue Federation H.E.R.O. awards.
