THE NASIMA FILM IS THE NASIMA CAMPAIGN

These funds will fuel this urgent effort to raise awareness and secure support for Nasima's surf club and the lifesaving training program. Each donation accelerates this mission, empowering girls and young women in Bangladesh and beyond by presenting surfing as a powerful symbol of freedom, resilience, and opportunity.

Funds raised will support Royal Navy Lifeboat Institution's efforts to train young people in Cox’s Bazar,life Bangladesh, in saving. We have witnessed their work in that community for nearly 10 years and can attest to the value it adds to the community. Nasima was one of the first lifeguards EVER trained in Bangladesh, and the first woman. Her dream is to enable and support young girls through this life saving training.

Our intention is to launch this film into the world in support of the Cox’s Bazar community, bringing Nasima’s story full circle.

We are also in actively vetting a few top tier global non-profit organizations with ‘boots on the ground’ and who hold the mandate to support women and girls empowerment, education and equity. Through this partnership Nasima will not only have the financial support to start her surf club, but the mentorship and organizational support that it will take to start a business.
