and Ubuntu – a story of hope “I was just another township child, going nowhere. Then Ubuntu found me. They nurtured me. Counseled me. Educated me. Now I’m a student at Rhodes University, one of South Africa’s finest educational institutions. I might become a journalist. I might become a poet. Whichever career path I choose, the decision will be mine. Because Ubuntu gave me the most precious thing of all: the gift of choice.”

broke the mold Ignoring the traditional development models, we redefined the concept of “going to scale.� Rather than expand geographically, Ubuntu drew a seven-kilometer radius through a community of 400,000 people. We built an integrated system of medical, educational, and social interventions to ensure that an orphaned or vulnerable child could succeed in the worlds of higher education and employment.

can see our innovation In September 2010, we opened the Ubuntu Centre. From the outside, the Centre is spectacular. But what goes on inside, is even more impressive. The Pediatric HIV Clinic and Pharmacy literally save lives. Families and individuals receive life-changing counseling. The Education Wing transforms vulnerable children into confident scholars. The Theatre is a platform for children to act out their hopes and dreams. The Centre is our home. It enables us to provide our comprehensive intervention model under one roof.

Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick
President Bill Clinton
“Ubuntu marries best practices from the business world and the NGO world. It is accountable to the people it serves, its donors, and its staff. And it retains its youthful idealism – the belief that challenges are meant to be overcome and that one small group of people can make a difference in the future of a nation.”
“Zethu lost both her parents to AIDS and had to raise her two young siblings. Ubuntu helped Zethu to stay in school and work through her emotional and financial issues. Zethu passed along the gift by creating a support group for 10 younger orphaned girls.”
Archbishop Desmond Tutu “Ubuntu helps children reclaim some of the freedom and the joy that comes from knowing that you have someone to rely on, someone to help you face the difficult tasks, listen to your deepest fears, share in the pleasure of learning and revel in the delight of play."
Andrew Rolfe “As Chairman of Ubuntu's Board of Directors, I am conscious that we need to pursue our philanthropic mission with tough, goal-oriented operational practices. The executive team's management discipline leads to remarkable, tangible results. I invest because I can see our impact.”
Dr. Frank Lipman “I advise my patients on how to get well and stay healthy. I believe in providing holistic wellness. Children in the townships of Port Elizabeth deserve the same standard of care. These children can only thrive when they are looked after in every aspect of their lives. The Ubuntu model is based on the premise that health, education, and stability are all necessary for a child to prosper. This is why it works.”
Donna Karan “ I am a proud supporter of Ubuntu. Jacob and Banks have taken Ubuntu from a simple desire to improve township children’s access to education to an internationally recognized model of successful community development."
Hugh Masekela “I was so proud to play at the Ubuntu Center. Today’s world could use the spirit of ubuntu. Maybe we can re-teach the world what it is really that a human being should do to make the world a better place to live in. If we are not in tune with the community we live in, we are not with the program.”
Ciko Thomas “I grew up in the township where the Ubuntu Centre now stands. I understand the poverty that these children must overcome. This is why I dedicate my time to helping Ubuntu. I know that defeating poverty requires hard work and that our children have astonishing potential. As an entrepreneur, I found my pathway to success. With our help, these children will find theirs. I see the proof every day in Port Elizabeth.”
