“Young people have always been the drivers of social change. And this generation holds unique promise.”

As we reflect on 2022, we are filled with gratitude and awe. A HUGE thank you to all Program Partners, donors small and large, and supporters, allies, and peers that make up this global CTAOP family. We are so proud to share our 2022 CTAOP Impact: Collective strength, power, and action.

CTAOP’s Youth Leaders Scholarship (YLS) program aims to help cultivate and strengthen community leaders in South Africa by providing comprehensive scholarships for tertiary education. In December 2022, CTAOP brought together all 4 YLS cohorts for the inaugural Leadership Summit to bond over shared experience, learn from each other, and grow.

In June 2023, we launched a gender-based violence co-funding initiative called Sukuthula! Unmute & Act with our partners, DG Murray Trust and The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. Sukuthula, meaning “do not keep quiet,” will support CBOs to deliver community-based prevention, response, and advocacy programs to reduce GBV in marginalized communities.
