How You Can Help
"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."
“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!
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.
"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."
"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!"
"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."
The Ubuntu Campus
A symbol of our belief that access to quality education and healthcare is a right, not a privilege. During the pandemic, the Ubuntu Centre was a shining hope, a place of stability, where the community turned for help.
The campus continues to grow. Our newly constructed primary school provides a safe and supportive environment on par with the country's elite institutions.
