Launched in June 2014, the Sapinda Rainbow Foundation, through the association with the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race, was set up to promote leadership and mentoring to young underprivileged South Africans.
The initiative exposes participants, also known as Rainbow Ambassadors, to ocean racing, with an aim to instil crucial life skills such as team work, communication and coordination, so they can become great leaders in their communities and a source of inspiration and motivation to bring change to their peers and the community as a whole.
