Where we work
We deliver our programmes in the heartland of surfing - the Mentawai Islands, 150km (90 miles) off Indonesia’s West Sumatran coast; Nias Island, 125km (80 miles) off the North Sumatran Coast; and in Eastern Indonesia Sumbawa (since 2013) and Sumba (since 2014). These are distinctive cultures and are ancient cultures and many of the villages where we work are isolated and difficult to access.

Steve Hathaway Chair Report As SurfAid enters its 20th year since inception, we have much to celebrate. What we have achieved since that first year in 2000 borne of hope and imagination - backpacking mosquito nets to a few isolated villages in the outermost islands of the Mentawais - is truly remarkable. Our mission holds strong and we remain true to our roots in working with people in remote areas connected to us through the great sport of surfing. Ensuring flexibility in the design of our programmes and agility in their implementation have always been benchmarks of our organisation. In addition to steadfast support from private donors in the funding of a diverse range of projects, we have enjoyed strong support from the New Zealand Government in seeking out new opportunities and bedding in new programmes. Now we are very proud to be newly minted by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade as an NGO with Full Accreditation to their exacting standards. We started this process in 2013 with Base Accreditation and have now passed the final test. We will use this accreditation framework to continually improve our organisational systems, as well as increase accountability in the spending of hard-won donor funds. Our delivery model must always remain agile and, as an internationally-based NGO, connecting with the appropriate people in overseas governments can be a significant challenge. Both Indonesia and SurfAid are changing the way we deliver humanitarian programmes, with a much greater emphasis on in-country partnerships. In October 2019, we signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indonesian Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration - a great fit with our mission! This MoU allows us to boost our partnerships and pave the way for our new programme, NusaTani. NusaTani! Launched in October, this programme represents a new era for SurfAid. Alongside hygiene and mother-child health, we have always worked to additionally improve the quality of life of the people in our villages. Now we have a new programme covering 20,000 people in very poor areas of Sumba and Sumbawa and this will focus on increasing income, while decreasing malnutrition and stunting of children. Strengthening agricultural production and creating small income streams so that farmers can take new steps in an emerging rural cash economy is an exciting prospect, and takes our humanitarian goals into broader areas of agricultural sustainability and resilience. Working towards gender equity is also a compelling part of this programme.
The SurfAid enthusiasm for exploring new frontiers - where our experience can add high value through partnership opportunities - has this year led us to combine with Family Planning Australia to deliver a cervical screening project in the Solomon Islands. In our own societies, we take this service for granted but it is completely unavailable to women in the Solomons who are dying from cervical cancer at a rate 11 times higher than that in Australasia. Formidable challenges lie ahead. Almost all of the people are living in small villages, with more than 70 local languages; there is almost no educational outreach on health issues; and there are cultural barriers that require intense attention – all the things that have honed SurfAid’s skill in community engagement and the strength we bring to this new project. We continue with the other programmes that you will read about in this Annual Report and each year there are so many people to acknowledge as SurfAid pushes on. Under the redoubtable leadership of our CEO Doug Lees, the motivation and commitment of our own people remains strong. The passion of the Affiliate Board members, who give freely of their own time, has been hugely evident at the highly successful fundraisers in Australia, California and New Zealand over the past year. Dr Dave Jenkins endlessly champions our mission and our international programme guru, Anne Wuijts, brings a remarkable level of professionalism to what we plan and do. Our Indonesian Country Director, Dinnia Joedadibrata, brings all the ends together at the village level to deliver a world-class and unique humanitarian programme. And then there are all the other people in the SurfAid family who make our NGO special. All of which, of course, depends on dollars. We deeply appreciate the continuing support of the New Zealand and Australian governments in providing the bedrock funding for our programmes and this is doubled up by the amazing generosity of our public donors throughout Australia, New Zealand and the United States. We are largely in your hands. Thanks again for your generosity and support that propels us forwards. Steve Hathaway Chair, International Board
Annual Report I p. 9
Full Accreditation This year, SurfAid joined a select pool of non-profit organisations fully accredited by the Australian Government. Joining a small cohort of just 42 organisations, SurfAid now sits among sector giants like the Red Cross, World Vision and UNICEF. The significance of this achievement is made even greater by the shoestring team who spearheaded this 18-month process. For our supporters, Full Accreditation means even greater confidence, transparency and accountability. The review team described SurfAid’s development approach as ‘sophisticated, well analysed, evidence based and progressive’. And while these accolades reassure us we are on the right track, Full Accreditation also means increased funding that will catapult our collective humanitarian impact.
Doug Lees CEO Report Welcome to the 2018/2019 SurfAid Annual Report, and my first Annual Report as your CEO. As a lifetime surfer who has always loved travelling to remote places, it is such a humbling experience to be involved with an organisation whose mission is to help the very people who live in these isolated locations. I am proud to work with such a dedicated team and governing boards, and our programme results which are highlighted in this report will illustrate the impressive achievements we have accomplished together this year. After more than 30 years of working within the profit-driven sector of surf industry, it feels great to be in a position to give back as CEO of a famously mighty, humanitarian non-profit organisation. Much like paddling out in big surf, with perfect barrels rolling down the reef, this feeling is familiar - slightly trepidatious, mostly exhilarated. The enormity of what lies ahead activates my whole body, but there is nowhere else I would rather be. Now, a year into this journey, it is with heartfelt thanks I share my reflections and address you as SurfAid’s CEO. This past year has been incredibly humbling and inspiring; I have never before been so full of optimism and gratitude. The tireless effort and talent of the SurfAid team and, importantly, the communities we support, are nothing short of remarkable.
p. 10 I Annual Report
Programme Milestones In 2013, SurfAid began working in East Indonesia, on the islands of Sumbawa, and this year marks the completion of two full project cycles. In Sumba, we are witnessing the sustainability of our work. Centrepiece to our community interventions is local autonomy and ownership. The HAWUNA programme, which means ‘to come together’ in the local language, is continuing to achieve improvements in mother and child health. Communities are independently using the knowledge and resources acquired through SurfAid to build their own clean water facilities. They have also reduced child malnutrition by more than double what the World Health Organisation defines as meaningful reductions. We are seeing similar results in Sumbawa, where our SIMBO project – which means ‘to grow’ – is quite literally growing. The launch of SurfAid’s followup programme in Sumbawa, called MACAHA, is an agriculturally oriented intervention piloting new technologies and crops to reduce poverty and improve health. This programme forms the basis for a larger programme across both Sumba and Sumbawa, launched later this year. In the west of Indonesia, in the Mentawai and Nias, we continue to deliver positive health outcomes across 50 villages by improving access to clean water and sanitation, and providing basic healthcare and nutrition training, including for those communities still impacted by natural disaster. In villages where SurfAid has been active the longest, we are seeing a proliferation of micro-entrepreneurial activity, which is generating family income as well as village funds to support the local health clinic, municipal water supply, and ongoing training and workshops.
A Surf Story In 2010, I arrived in Fiji at the same time as a huge south swell was about to hit Cloudbreak, a famous wave off the Fijian coast. Staying with me at the time was Hawaiian big wave surfer Mark Healy, who convinced me to paddle out with him into this giant surf. No one else was out at the time. We had no idea just how big this swell really was, but once in the water and paddling up the face of the first wave, I knew it was well over 15 feet and well above my comfort level. Mark caught a wave straight away; I was left alone out the back. A monster 20-foot set appeared on the horizon and roared towards me. I had never seen a wave this big before, and it seemed like a lifeand-death moment. There was no way I could get around it, and so I inhaled deeply and dived under. Soon struggling for breath, I lunged for the surface but the churning ocean was not ready to release me. I desperately gulped for air, only to have my lungs filled with seawater. I managed to surface only just before the next wave hit me. Tiring after the third wave pounding, Pipeline lifeguard Dave Wassel luckily arrived on a jet ski and he dragged me to safety. I had survived. My Cloudbreak experience represents for me resilience, ambition, bravery, risk-taking and, importantly, embracing help. Ahead of SurfAid’s 20th anniversary in 2020, which commemorates the group of intrepid Kiwi surfers who founded SurfAid on a trip to the Mentawai, and the incredible journey we have shared since then, I cannot help but reflect on our organisation’s own story of resilience, ambition, bravery, risk-taking and an ever-reliance on the help of altruistic experts, donors and importantly, the communities themselves.
Later this year we will also introduce NusaTani, a five-year programme that will build on our previous work in Laboya Barat, Sumba and Parado, Sumbawa. Reaching nearly 20,000 people, this five-year programme has a dual focus on increasing local incomes and decreasing malnutrition. Lastly, the coming year will also mark the first time in SurfAid’s 20-year history that we expand beyond Indonesia as we are exploring how to effect positive change in the Pacific. SurfAid USA has extended support to partner organisations in Mexico, and we are working alongside Family Planning NSW in the Solomon Islands. In a reflection on my first year as your CEO, I can say that if ever a person loses faith in humanity and compassion they should meet any one of you. I would like to thank our incredible staff and directors and you, our donors, for without your unwavering belief in your own ability to make the world a better place, my own definition of compassion would be less lustrous. Doug Lees CEO
The Future The coming year will continue to present new challenges, especially with the introduction of new programmes, but I am confident that SurfAid’s adaptive and resilient approach strongly positions us for exciting changes in how we work. We are entering into a new MoU with the Indonesian Ministry of Villages, Disadvantaged Regions and Transmigration. Previously working with the Ministry of Health, this move represents a better fit with SurfAid’s multifaceted approach to community intervention and our mission statement: to improve the health, wellbeing and self-reliance of people living in isolated regions connected to us through surfing. We are enormously grateful and excited to further affect collaborative change in remote island communities.
Annual Report I p. 11
Anne Wuijts Global Programme Director Report 20 years of SurfAid programmes and what’s next There are many ways to describe the growth and learning curve of an organisation. From comparing it to a tree or living organism (birth, growth, maturity, decline, and revival) to looking at the organisation through the lens of absorptive capacity and creative solutions around ‘tipping points’ (my favourite). Or the straightforward ‘inception, high growth, maturity’. But no matter what model we are using to describe the evolution of SurfAid, we are immensely proud of the growth that began with the work at the direction of the passionate Dr Dave Jenkins nearly 20 years ago. Dr Dave started SurfAid after an eye-opening visit behind the palms of the Disneyland of surfing - the Mentawai Islands in Indonesia. As SurfAid was starting to understand more about community development, Mother Nature intervened. From 2004 to 2010, a series of devastating earthquakes and tsunamis caused havoc and destruction in SurfAid’s working areas. And SurfAid and its supporters overwhelmingly responded. I joined SurfAid just after the last major earthquake in the area, with a brief to bring SurfAid back to its roots of community health promotion, and to improve the community development approach. We focussed our activities on promoting behaviour change, and removing practical barriers to behaviour change. Remember Dave’s original thoughts on getting people to wash their hands with soap? It can prevent approximately one out of every three illnesses in young children from diarrhoea, and almost one out of six young children with respiratory infections such as pneumonia. But how to get people to do it if there is no water? If there is no soap? If people haven’t heard about bacteria, or there are no toilets? So, not only should SurfAid focus on promoting healthy behaviour, we should also help to ensure there is clean water and sanitation. Similarly with fighting stunting in children. Stunting is one of the most extreme indicators of malnutrition. Stunting is high in the remote areas and is the result of long-term nutritional deprivation. As it is unaffected by seasonal variation, it reflects long-term outcomes, such as frequent and high disease burden, limited access to food supply, poor feeding practices, and/or low household socioeconomic status. We provide very practical support such as materials to build water tanks, water taps and toilets for clean water and sanitation, materials for community health posts to support pregnant women, mothers and children, and materials to start vegetable gardens for nutrition and small scale economic activities. But it is the behaviourchange activities with community members, schoolchildren, community health volunteers and relevant government staff that really lies at the heart of what we do.
p. 12 I Annual Report
Less sexy, but incredibly important, is the accreditation of SurfAid by the Australian Government. Accreditation is granted to Australian NGOs who have demonstrated their ability to deliver results, who offer value for money, and who have strong local partnerships that support collaboration, capacity building and sustainability through a rigorous accreditation process that assesses their organisational structure, philosophies, policies and practices. I am incredibly proud, crazy and humbled to have been part of SurfAid’s incredible journey. First as Country Director for Indonesia, and since December 2018 as Global Programme Director. SurfAid Indonesia is now in safe and sure hands with our National Country Director, Dinnia Joedadibrata. I know we have great challenges but equally great opportunities ahead of us, and with your help we will meet them and make this coming year the best in our history!

Goal Healthy, resilient and secure communities in Gido and Hiliduho. Programme start-end dates: 3 September 2015 – 30 November 2020. Building on SurfAid’s previous five-year programme in Nias, this second phase has seen the programme roll out to an additional 19,000 people with sustained results in community participation, access to clean water, Mother and Child Health improvements, high-functioning community health clinics, and partnerships with local government that are resulting in substantially better health for women and children under 5.
Results 873
- We directly trained mothers, midwives, health volunteers and community members (517 in Hiliduho and 356 in Gido), increasing local capacity to provide key services.
MCH practices of immediate breastfeeding, colostrum, safe delivery plan, and giving birth assisted by health professionals remain high in Hiliduho (62.7%) and Gido (55.4%). Exclusive - Key
breastfeeding remains a challenge, to be addressed in this coming year.
Gido, the malnutrition status of children under five has been significantly reduced from 23.6% to 1.1%, exceeding our target of 10%! There is also a significant reduction in incidences of diarrhoea from 23.9% to 1.3%, also greatly exceeding - By the end of this year in

mentawai / KATUERUKAT “Prosperous�, in local language.
Goal
To directly improve resilience and economic and food security through agriculture for 14 displaced communities (2853 people) resettled inland post tsunami by training communities in permaculture and income generation. We aim to make this impact via three outcomes:
1. Increased income through market access, 2. Better quality and quantity of agriculture products, and 3. Communities are practicing clean and healthy behaviours.
Results:
This year we have made progress towards these goals and achieved the following outcomes:
23 formal training sessions on good agriculture practices (including banana planting, chilli cultivation & intercropping, corn cultivation, cardamom intercropping) for 534 community members (219 women and 315 men) exceeding our target of 350 people and driving sustainable agriculture. - We have provided
218 community volunteers and health professionals on health/medical practices, more - We trained
than doubling our target of 90 people and increasing local capacity to sustainably provide
health and medical services.
8 hamlets (out of 14) are now ready to go through the Open Defecation Free (ODF) certification process. This
-
is a major achievement in these remote communities, reflecting enormous progress in health and sanitation.

sumba / HAWUNA “To work together”, in local language.
Building on the work of Sumba Foundation Australia, SurfAid’s Hawuna Programme, focused on Laboya Barat, a remote region in Sumba. The programme, which officially ended on 31 July 2018, worked to address several issues: lack of access to water and community health services, poor nutrition, malaria and a lack of economic opportunities, impacting a total of 7,765 people. Among the many significant achievements, these are just a few stand-outs:
1. Access to clean water. 2. Access to latrines. 3. Diahrroea rates. 4. Nutrition.

Using a participatory and “demand creation� approach, SurfAid supported communities to renovate and maintain existing water systems, and implement four new water systems, increasing access to clean water.
1. Degora water line: 880 persons. 2. Matawe Kadoki water line: 240 persons.
Access to latrines
3. Namu Ole water line: 650 persons. 4. Matawe Podarere water line: 168 persons. BEFORE AFTER < 10% 63%
SurfAid uses the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach which focuses on ingniting a change in sanitation behaviour of a whole community, not just constructing toilets. The first step of CLTS is to end open defecation as a starting point for changing sanitation behaviour. Hawuna achieved these results in two communities.
Diarrhoea Rates
BEFORE AFTER 43% 5%
The use of toilets and washing hands properly with soap under running water can prevent appproximately 1 out of every 3 cases of diarrhoea. Add to that training sessions for community members on health, hygiene and nutrition and we can see a significant decrease in diarrhoea in children!
Nutrition
BEFORE AFTER 0 55
Hawuna focused on nutrition sessions, immediate and exclusive breast feeding, cooking classes and nutrition gardens. Before the start of the planting season for cash crops, there were more than 111 nutrition gardens at the new water facilities! At the peak of the planting season, 55 gardens were still flourishing and producing nutritious crops.

sumbawa / SIMBO “Healthy mothers and children”, in local language.
In Sumbawa, we completed SIMBO, a full mother and child health programme, helping improve community health systems and clean water facilities serving 9,542 people across 17 communities in Parado sub-district (in Bima, Nusa Tenggara Barat).
Programme results SIMBO helped these communities achieve: • Enormous reductions in diarrhoea rates among children under 5 (from 35.2% down to 15.9% by the end of the programme - and further down to <1% a year after the programme completed!); • Improvements in health-seeking behaviour (to 91%) and construction of clean water facilities which were 100% maintained by the communities, one year after the programme was fully handed over to the communities and government. Evaluations of HAWUNA and SIMBO confirmed that both programmes had significant positive impacts on mother and child health, access to clean water and sanitation, measured across a range of indicators. These programmes’ successes, and community and government enthusiasm for follow-up activities, provide a strong platform for further multi-year programmes in Sumba and Sumbawa. We are pleased to be working with local communities and governments to plan how best to empower communities to meet their own evolving needs.
p. 22 I Annual Report
sumbawa / MACAHA In 2017 we launched a pilot programme working to combine solar power and drip irrigation (SDIS) technologies, with our community partners in Sumbawa – MACAHA: stands for MAsyarakat CAkap dan HAndal or ‘skilled and reliable community’, in local Bima language it means “being diligent”. The SDIS provides irrigation for farmable land and increase domestic consumption and saleable crops. SurfAid is training community members on agriculture on sustainable, resilient and nutritional varieties of crops, increasing yields, improving nutrition and ultimately, improving livelihoods and health status. The solar powered irrigation systems are helping reduce reliance on expensive, non-renewable energy sources and ensure a clean, reliable, sustainable supply of energy. In addition to the direct benefits from the activity, the lessons learned from the MACAHA pilot are of great value to our other programmes, including successor programmes in Sumbawa and Sumba, helping communities become increasingly resilient. The Solar-powered drip irrigation system (SDIS) is in good condition, fully functioning and well maintained by the group under supervision of MACAHA’s Agriculture Officer. This system is now providing water to 1.5 hectare or 15,000m2 of land, now consisting of 12 plots, each plot run by a family (farmers)
