CAREER DAY EXPO - LIFE AFTER MATRIC
A platform for accademical outstanding students to acquire bursairy, intership and learnership.
We are a Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) that seeks to assist school learners who come from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and currently disadvantaged households, learners who do very well academically but do not know how to go about obtaining a scholarship or a bursary, who attend school with torn shoes, no stationary and other basic necessities. As an organisation we strive to live by the values of UBUNTU by ensuring that we assist those who need help. UBUNTU is our foundation!
The name UBUNTU is an African proverb that means, “I am because we”, or humanity towards others. (Umntu ngumntu ngabantu) but is often used in a more philosophical sense to mean “the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity.”
Assisting children that come from abusive backgrounds and ensuring that they get the intervention needed through social programmes (e.g. social workers).
Assisting learners in getting basic necessities like school uniform, stationery, food, scholarships, bursaries, etc.
Motivating: Having speakers visiting schools, sharing their experiences and insight, words of wisdom and advice to our young brothers and sisters.

Be part of our great initiative
As a self-motivated and optimistic individual, I am driven by growth, change, and progress. My personal journey has been instrumental in shaping my vision and mission. Raised by a single mother, Growing up in Site C, Khayelitsha, a township often associated with negative stereotypes, I was determined to defy the odds. I told myself that my background would not define my future. Instead, it fueled my passion to make a difference. Having experienced the struggles of attending school with worn-out shoes and on an empty stomach, I understand the plight of disadvantaged youth. I recall asking my teachers for bread when there was no food at home. These experiences sparked a desire to empower young people from similar backgrounds.
My dream is to show disadvantaged children that their circumstances do not dictate their potential. Through UBUNTU is Our Foundation, a proudly South African nonprofit organisation founded in 2019, I aim to be the change I want to see in my community and country.
