the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project
About the cause
Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project’s mission is to invest in African youth to keep themselves safe from HIV/AIDS. Primarily focusing on Charlize’s home country of South Africa, which has the largest HIV-positive population in the world, the Project supports community-engaged organizations that use innovative and community-specific programming to work with youth between the ages of 10–20 years old. These organizations provide critical resources like access to youth-friendly health care, sexual and reproductive health education, life skills, and psychosocial support—all of which empower young people to keep themselves and their peers HIV-free.
