The cause

Poverty robs people of their dignity and confidence. They are denied their basic human rights with no hope of escaping this vicious cycle. Our structured community development programmes give entire communities the opportunity to lead themselves out of poverty by providing them with shelter, education and healthcare.

The format

Dragon boat racing is a forward-facing rowing competition with 16 rowers and 1 drummer at the bow. The specialist dragon boat company will provide a cox who will steer from the rear. No previous experience is required as each team be will inducted individually on the day.
