Soweto Canoe and Recreation Club (SCARC) was established over 6 years ago with a vision of using water sports as the medium to engage with and provide development opportunities for underprivileged children in Soweto. With our slogan "Empowerment and Growth Through Sport" we have proven that the discipline and self confidence that a commitment to sport gives dramatically improves their positive outlook, personal motivation and drive to succeed.
With over 300 local kids been involved with the club since its inception, we have seen amazing growth and results in each and every one of them. From competing and winning at races around the country and around the world, to embarking on professional career paths across a number of sectors, we are constantly reminded of the potential that each child holds within, despite their marginalised home situations.
