Everything. Everyday. UBUNTU EDUCATION FUND 2016 Annual Report
Dear Friends, Over the past eighteen years, Ubuntu has grown from an idea born in a broom closet to the global standard for community development. Today, the Ubuntu Model is internationally recognized as a powerful blueprint for sustainable change. From day one, we have dedicated ourselves to building an interconnected web of essential services that provide our children every thing they need—every day. Vision 2020, launched in 2016, is an ambitious expansion plan that will expand our campus, deepen our impact, and amplify our model. In 2016, we secured the capital to begin campus construction and expand our programming. We have partnered with African School for Excellence to create a high-performing primary school for our Early Childhood Development program graduates. This move will allow us to complete our cradle-to-career pathway out of poverty and guide hundreds of disadvantaged students toward university and financial stability. The Ubuntu Centre is evolving into the Ubuntu Campus, a place where we can provide each child personalized and continuous support at every step of her life. Most importantly, our plan will ensure that Ubuntu, now an integral part of the fabric of Zwide Township, stands the test of time and continues to transform lives for generations. Thank you for helping us realize our vision.

Malizole Banks Gwaxula Founder & Senior Advisor
The Ubuntu Centre embodies our belief that access to world-class healthcare and education is a right, not a privilege. At our state-of-the-art facility, South Africa’s most vulnerable children receive every thing they need to realize their potential—every day. 1
The Townships of Port Elizabeth are home to the most impoverished communities in South Africa. With high rates of HIV, unemployment, and the absence of opportunities, families face deep-rooted barriers to healthy and stable lives.
The Ubuntu Model is a grassroots innovation that revolutionizes conventional development models and yields global dividends.

It’s natural for a mother to want to give her baby everything, but when she doesn’t have the means, that duty is daunting. Will my child be healthy? How will I feed him, keep him safe, or send him to school? Fortunately, Nomthandazo wasn’t alone. At Ubuntu, she found a support group of mothers who, like her, refused to let their circumstances define the lives of their children. With caseworkers and a medical team caring for her every step of the pregnancy, Nomthandazo gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Likhonco. In a few years, he will follow in the footsteps of his older brother and join Ubuntu’s Early Childhood Development program. From checkups to quality education, he will have everything he needs, so that Nomthandazo can focus on raising two bright young men.

Tisetso came to Ubuntu shy and and reluctant to share his struggles. The new friends and mentors he met at Ubuntu’s after-school program helped him finally feel like he belonged and find his voice. He discovered a passion for public speaking and was elected leader of his student body. Inspired by the strength of those around him, he gained the confidence to face his challenges. He began to understand his mother’s struggle with HIV, and their relationship blossomed. His five-year-old niece found a safe space to learn and play at the Centre, easing the burden on his sister. Knowing that his family has every opportunity to build a stable life, Tisetso can prepare for university and becoming a strong leader in his community.
Each scholar received 490 hours of after-school support across 18 extracurricular courses

Like most young people, Noluvuyo was told that hard work leads to success. For those growing up in the shadow of failing township schools, however, ambition is rarely enough. When every door seemed closed, Ubuntu promised opportunity. Years of academic support and a full scholarship empowered Noluvuyo to pioneer her own path. After graduating from university, her longing to see change in the community brought her home to Ubuntu—this time as a teacher. Ubuntu’s staff leadership initiative offered her professional growth and personalized mentorship. Today, she provides for her family like the hundreds of alumni who have discovered rewarding careers through Ubuntu’s job-readiness or university scholars program. As one of our most promising educators, Noluvuyo spends every day providing toddlers with a strong foundation and shaping the future of South Africa’s next generation.
