20Th Gala Banner

London

May 16, 2019

What an inspiring evening looking back on Ubuntu's 20 years of impact and listening to our community’s dreams for the future.

Our 2019 gala at London's iconic Roundhouse celebrated our 20th anniversary of providing cradle to career care. We honoured Josefin and Paulo Eapen with the Spirit of Ubuntu Award for their commitment to the children of South Africa. We heard an unforgettable story from one of our graduates and staff members, Nomhle, about how she found the support and courage at Ubuntu to dream for herself, her son – and for her community.

Together, we launched the next phase of our campus expansion and raised funds to create pathways out of poverty, from job training to job creators and from healthy births to the first day of school. Thank you to our amazing host committee, gala chairs, and sponsors for making this 20th anniversary gala in London an incredible evening!
