Welcome to the Quiksilver SurfAid Community Health Centre Mini-Site.


Over the  past 5 years, the Quiksilver Foundation and SurfAid have worked in partnership  to establish the Quiksilver SurfAid Community Health Training Centre at Katiet  in the Mentawai Islands, off Indonesia’s West Sumatran coast. The Centre  is a model for sustainable life practices for rural Indonesia and provides a growing collection  of lessons for building a healthy home and a healthy life through simple yet  highly effective methods.

This website is your western resource for this information. Here you will find everything you need to know about the practices that are being adopted at the project site. There is information on the history and timeline of the program, specific syllabus items, personal accounts from guests to the centre, heartwarming pics and clips and a section where you can contribute to the continuing success of the Quiksilver SurfAid Community Health Training Centre and its objectives.
