CRADLE TO CAREER
A CHILD’S BIRTHPLACE SHOULDN’T
DETERMINE HER FUTURE.
POVERTY IS COMPLEX.
Poverty affects every aspect of life. Our community faces challenges that have deep-rooted causes, often spanning generations.
BUT THE CYCLE IS BREAKABLE.
Through a comprehensive system of education, health, and household support, we are placing 2,000 vulnerable children and their families on pathways out of poverty, from cradle to career.

How You Can Help
Andrew & Megan
Donated their wedding, United States
"On our wedding day, we chose to support Ubuntu so that the love and celebration we felt could extend far beyond our community. We wanted to help give Gqeberha’s children what they deserve and need most."
VUVU
Ran marathons, South Africa
"Fundraising for Ubuntu was such a rewarding experience because we were helping to change lives by doing what we love. It was awesome to witness how generous people were when we asked them for support!"
SHANTHI
Gives monthly, United States
"Ubuntu understands that a child’s path from poverty is not just about education. Their holistic model is one any donor should feel confident getting behind. It’s what inspired me to get more involved and give monthly."
KHOLISA
Supporting Ubuntu through art, South Africa
"I’ve chaired Ubuntu’s Johannesburg Gala since its inception. At Aspire Art Auctions I use my relationship with South Africa’s most brilliant artists to support Ubuntu’s life-changing work. I’m proud to be a part of Ubuntu’s mission and create uplifting connections that make the world a better place."
ZI
Supporting Ubuntu through food, United States
“Greatness is not what you have, it is what you give.” Giving my talents in efforts to raise funds for the beautiful people of South Africa was truly a pleasure, blessing, and an honor. After all, Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu. I am because you are!
OYANDA
Supports Ubuntu through movement
I wanted to connect and celebrate the gift of yoga since the country has been through so much since COVID-19 started. Giving back is part of my yoga lifestyle, which is why I decided to host my International Day of Yoga livestream as a fundraiser for Ubuntu.
