Cape Town International Kite Festival

The 17th Cape Town International Kite Festival is proudly hosted by Cape Mental Health, a registered non-profit mental health organisation that offers free community-based services and support to adults and children living with intellectual and psychiatric disabilities as well as mental health problems. The event will take flight on 22 and 23 October 2011 at the beautiful scenic grounds of Zandvlei in Muizenberg – a family event not to be missed! The Kite Festival is an annual fund-raising and awareness raising event for Cape Mental Health, promoting positive mental health in an uplifting, fun and colourful way.

This year's theme of 'One Sky, One World - Mental Health for All' highlights the importance of mental health for all people across the globe, the need to provide quality mental health care and resources especially in poor communities, and the right of people with mental ill-health and mental disabilities to be included in development opportunities.
