Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project

United States · Nonprofit Organization Management

CTAOP advances the health, education, and safety of young people living in Southern Africa to create a more equitable future for all. We envision a world where ALL youth are empowered to live healthy and productive lives. CTAOP partners with organizations (Program Partners) that support young people, their sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR), and work to prevent gender-based violence (GBV). By mobilizing funding and relationships, strengthening capacity, and bringing awareness to the work of our Program Partners, we support youth as they pursue a healthier, more equitable future for themselves and their communities. CTAOP was founded in 2007 by Charlize Theron, Academy Award winning actor and UN Messenger of Peace, with the hope of making a difference in her home country of South Africa.
