Charlize Theron is so much bigger than just a Hollywood star, the cameras and paparazzi never fully capture the warmth of her heart or amount of empathy she feels for the youth in South Africa.
South Africa has always been home to Charlize, it's in her blood and bones, which is why she started the 'Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project' (CTAOP), to support organisations that empower and educate the youth of South Africa. Fighting HIV/AIDS has been a big passion for Charlize. Her outreach project works with organisations to educate the youth and to have the important conversations that are not happening.
The key to fighting HIV/AIDS is in educating the next generation. CTAOP supports organisations that offer education through youth development. Thanks to successful projects with partner grantees such as HIVSA, the youth are becoming empowered and having meaningful conversations which in turn creates leaders for the next generation.
Good Things Guy was given an opportunity to discuss the growth of CTAOP with Charlize Theron in honour of the outreach projects 10th Anniversary. Along with the interview, we are also able to share an exclusive documentary showcasing the work that Charlize, CTAOP and the grantees have done over the past 10 years in South Africa. During her latest trip to South Africa, she was accompanied by Trevor Noah and Chelsea Handler who joined to meet the youth involved in the successful projects being run. You can watch the incredible documentary below.
