The International Children's Peace Prize 2011 was presented to Michaela Mycroft, also called Chaeli, by Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire. Chaeli received the prize, at the age of 17, for her commitment to the rights of children with disabilities in South Africa, through her project: the Chaeli Campaign. 

Chaeli was born with Cerebral Palsy, through which the function of her arms and legs is limited. But where others see limitations, she sees possibilities; with her positive attitude, she is an inspiration to many. At the age of 9, Chaeli and her friends and sister started a project to raise money for a motorized wheelchair for Chaeli. In just seven weeks they raised more than enough money, so Chaeli decided to help more disabled children. This project has become the Chaeli Campaign; a professional organisation that annually helps more than 3000 children with disabilities in South Africa with equipment and physical therapy, and that promotes the rights, inclusion and acceptance of disabled children. Chaeli inspires other children to start projects and for that she has developed an ambassadors programme.
