The Cape Town Refugee Centre (CTRC) is a South African non-profit organisation that works with vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers in the Western Cape.  We strive to improve the quality of life of refugees and asylum seekers by meeting their basic needs on a short-term basis, and enabling them to become self-reliant and self sufficient through various empowerment opportunities.

Our mission is to engage refugees and asylum seekers in improving the quality of their lives through:-

• capacity building,
• education
• psychological and emotional support
• networking
• lobbying
• advocacy and integration into their host communities

In partnership with other local, national, and international organizations and individuals, CTRC continues working to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive community in the Western Cape in which refugees and asylum seekers can thrive.
