A Million to One: Changing the Odds Ubuntu Education Fund 2014 Annual Report
BUILDing a sustainable institution
Dear Friends,
Invest in people and a centre that inspires the highest standard
Impact through depth
Produce lasting change through significant and focused investment
THE UBUNTU MODEL
Cradle to career
Based in the community
Listen to the townships’ needs and utilize their resources through strategic partnerships
Create individualized pathways to meet each client’s household, health, and educational needs
The Ubuntu Model, a grassroots innovation, revolutionizes conventional development models and yields global dividends.
Think, for a moment, about everything that it took for you to get to where you are today—all the investments that your family, friends, and teachers made in you. The list seems endless when you really start to reflect on it. The hugs, pep talks, and advice; the vaccines, Band-Aids, and doctor appointments; the pre-school classes, SAT prep tutors, and university seminars. It’s overwhelming to try to remember just how many people supported you along the way, because none of us can say that we have achieved success entirely on our own. Now, consider a child orphaned by HIV, growing up in a home constructed with aluminum scrap metal; hunger, inadequate healthcare, and a grossly unequal education system overshadow so many of her dreams. The odds are stacked against her, a million to one. Wouldn’t it logically take the same investments for this vulnerable child to move from point A to point B? Wouldn’t it probably take more? At Ubuntu, we believe that not only does breaking the poverty trap for one child take a million interventions but also that our cradle to career approach is the only way to achieve sustainable development. We are committed to empowering 2,000 of South Africa’s vulnerable children with the same love, resources, and opportunities so that they too can realize their potential. Sixteen years on, Ubuntu graduates, pioneers of their families, have proven that the impossible is possible. With our support, they are re-writing not just their own stories but also the industry narrative of what disadvantaged communities can accomplish. Thank you for helping us change the odds,

Dear Friends,
The Ubuntu Centre, a testament to our longterm commitment to the children of South Africa, embodies our belief that access to world-class healthcare and education is a right, not a privilege. At our state-of-the-art health and educational campus, life-changing transformations occur every day.

The heartbeat. Hearing it changed everything as love, fear, and the realization that she was giving life to another human being washed over her. More than anything else, this mother-to-be was determined to save her child from the virus that had overshadowed her life: HIV. Thobeka followed every piece of advice, however small, that Ubuntu’s doctor prescribed, attending medical appointments, ultrasounds, nutritional consultations, counseling sessions, and support group meetings. Nine months later, her baby was born HIV-negative, an accomplishment that Thobeka will be proud of for the rest of her life.

Today, Hlelo wants to be, all at once, half fashion designer, half biologist, and half President. Sure, with three halves, she’s probably biting off more than she can chew, but it’s not every day that children like Hlelo imagine a life for themselves outside of the townships. Together with her caretaker, Ubuntu's Early Childhood Development educators, medical team and case worker, mitigated the myriad challenges—hunger, family instability, and learning disabilities—in Hlelo’s life. Today, this big dreamer is healthy, happy, and excited for her future.

Every day, the world tells girls to be quieter, to be smaller. But, in the face of a million “nos,” Lithakazi has found her voice. She attends a support group at Ubuntu, where young women encourage each other to move beyond the dangers of township life, to value themselves, and to reach for the impossible. Inspired by their strength, Lithakazi feels braver and more confident in her ability to realize what seems so unattainable for girls growing up in Port Elizabeth’s townships—a university degree. Ubuntu’s counselors, case workers, and educators will support her dream every step of the way.

How many of our best ideas are dreamed up by espresso-fueled brains? Monwabisi understands the potential in a cup of coffee. A year ago, he didn’t know what a latte was. Today, just months after his father’s passing, Monwabisi supports his family by making macchiatos. Ubuntu’s new barista initiative, just one of our many job readiness trainings, taught him how to create latte art, make cappuccinos, and manage a coffee shop. Determined to provide more for his siblings than he had growing up, Monwabisi is brewing up plans to open his own café after he finishes his market research, of course.

People love to share their problems with their hairdressers. Fezeka Mzalazala was apt at the role of impromptu therapist to the women in her salon chair, but 13 years ago it seemed inconceivable that she would one day work to alleviate the burdens of an entire community. Yet, however improbable, she became Ubuntu’s Senior Programs Manager. Years of intensive mentorship empowered Fezeka to pursue a university degree and enabled her to help lead an internationally recognized organization. Her voice is now a blueprint for social development around the world.
