Pay it Forward Ambassadors Project

In the ambassadors project, The Chaeli Campaign trains children between the ages of nine and fourteen on their communication skills, leadership qualities and network capacities. These skills can help the children to make positive changes in their own community.

Our project partner The Chaeli Campaign

The Chaeli Campaign was founded in 2004 by International Children’s Peace Prize Winner 2011, Chaeli Mycroft, her sister and three friends. They started the Chaeli Campaign to raise R20,000 for Chaeli’s motorized wheelchair. The Chaeli Campaign has grown into a professional organization with multiple programs to support disabled children and their families. Their aim is to change the life of one disabled child at a time in a significant way.
