SCARC
The Soweto Canoe and Recreation Club (SCARC) was founded more than 10 years ago by a few passionate paddlers that wanted to introduce disadvantaged youth in Soweto to watersports. Inspired by the vision of providing “Empowerment and growth through sport”, the club aims to not only teach residents of Soweto how to swim and participate in watersports, but also to develop crucial life skills that will assist its members in becoming economically active in their chosen fields.
SCARC has grown into a robust and sustainable club that is run by several dedicated volunteers covering coaching, mentoring, administration, treasury, sponsorship, education, feeding programme and general management. The club has also been adopted as the “Development Arm” of Dabulamanzi Canoe Club, which is South Africa’s largest canoe club, providing further support and long-term sustainability.
