“You don't build a business, you build people. And when you do, they'll create something far more
extraordinary than you ever could have imagined.” — Andrew van Zyl, Chairperson, CTAP
 

At CTAP, we believe that the true foundation of any successful business is the people behind it. This is why our mission goes beyond just supporting small businesses—we are dedicated to empowering the individuals who run them.
 

Founded in 2021, the Community Transformation Accelerator Program (CTAP) addresses the pressing issues of poverty & hunger; unemployment, and inequality by focusing on the development of small businesses. We emphasize Technological Enablement and Upskilling through a mentorship-based approach, ensuring that both these businesses and the people behind them have the tools and confidence to succeed.
 

We aim to support 250,000 SMEs over the next decade, driving economic growth throughout South Africa. To achieve this, we need the support of individuals and businesses who share our vision. Your contributions will empower these 'ambassadors of hope' with the tools and resources they need not only to become self-sufficient but also to transform their communities—proving that when you build people, they will indeed create something far more extraordinary than ever imagined.
 

Join us in this transformative journey to uplift lives and revitalize our economy. Together, we can be part of the crucial turnaround strategy for South Africa’s future.
