Help Us Raise R150,000 to Build Cape Town’s Next Generation of Peace Leaders!

The future of social cohesion in Cape Town rests on the relationships being built today. We need your help to ensure the Youth Interfaith Intercultural Programme (YIIP) can run this year.

Our Goal: R150,000 ($9,120) will make the two-year Schools Programme possible for 70 Grade 10 and 11 learners in 2026.

Why Your Donation Matters

The CTII Youth Interfaith Intercultural Programme is a unique two-year journey that equips young leaders (ages 16-17) from diverse religious, cultural, and socio-economic backgrounds to build bridges of understanding. They graduate as active citizens, ready to transform dialogue into action.

The 2026 learners graduate with Cape Town’s Mayor

Ways to donate

CTII YIIP 2026

CTII has been chosen by the New Africa Fund for the Africa Impact Fundraising Grant (AIFG) 30-day matching challenge ! For the month of March 2026, every Rand you donate will be MATCHED 1:1—meaning your gift does twice the work to support our Youth Interfaith Intercultural Programme.

Our Goal: Raise $5,000 (R80k) to unlock the full match and fund our 2026 Schools Programme, by 31st March. Sponsor a learner for R1,700 / $100 (which becomes R3,400 with the match!) or give any amount you can.

Hear It From the Learners:

“Before I entered the Interfaith Programme, I pretty much saw my religion… as the only correct religion… But interfaith really allowed me to understand. I didn’t have to accept, but I could listen. And that really changed the way I viewed life. The programme really helped me create friendships… those are friendships that will last a lifetime.” Ahmad, Grade 11

“It taught me that different faiths don’t have to divide us, they can bring us closer through understanding and respect. I’m grateful to have had this opportunity to learn, to connect, and to see the world through new eyes.” Daniel, Grade 11

Join us in fostering intercultural and interfaith relations between young people across Cape Town, that build empathy, peace and collaboration. Every Rand you contribute directly supports a young person’s journey to becoming an intercultural interfaith leader in their schools and communities.
