‘Ubuntu Education Fund is reaching the people who count, saying, “You
are not helpless, you are not ciphers that can be manipulated. You are
people who can prepare your own thoughts.” And that is important.’
—Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Patron, Ubuntu Education Fund
From the Founders
Dear Friends,
Over the past 30 years large amounts of funding have been poured into the African continent with
hopes of eradicating poverty and strengthening overburdened healthcare systems. Yet destitution and
AIDS remain pressing issues in Africa, and the need for innovative strategies is clear. In the field of inter-
national development the current trend is to take a model to scale—that is, to geographically expand
and replicate a programme in an attempt to reach more people and stake claim to operations in more
regions of the world. Despite the attention-grabbing praise that comes from reporting high numbers,
the quality of the work undertaken in this manner often becomes severely compromised.
We believe there is an essential difference between merely touching a child’s life versus funda-
mentally changing it. We founded Ubuntu in 1999 with the goal of having a lasting and transformative
impact on the children we serve. Our approach has been to take children who have been raped,
orphaned or abandoned and create the support and opportunities that allow them not just to survive,
but to thrive. It takes an incredible amount of human and financial resources to operate in this manner.
Still, rather than scaling up and spreading out geographically, the Ubuntu team chose to remain geo-
graphically focused. We drew a seven-kilometre radius around our office in Port Elizabeth, and we have
refused to work outside of that circle. While the area may seem small, within it 400,000 individuals live
in dire poverty and only 40,000 are accessing Ubuntu’s lifesaving services. These numbers reaffirm the
fact that we still have plenty of work to do.
During Ubuntu’s nine-year existence we have refined our strategy. Our approach has become a
blueprint for organisations around the world that strive for culturally appropriate, community-based
development. Our goal of helping vulnerable children access higher education and employment will never
change. However, we have recognised that achieving this goal is directly tied to our ability to stabilise a
child's home environment.Today 800 families are enrolled in our social-service-based Care and Support
programme and more than 10,000 schoolchildren receive weekly Lifeskills classes. This past January we
placed 107 students, most of whom had been with us for more than seven years, into university on full
scholarship, which we consider to be the truest testament to our success.
We believe access to great education and quality healthcare is not a privilege but a right. These
rights should not be reserved only for those born in cities such as New York or
London. We are proud to announce that in March we broke ground on our most
ambitious project to date: The Ubuntu Centre, a $6 million community health and
education centre which we are constructing in one of the poorest communities in
South Africa. Surprisingly, we have received criticism for this project. We have been
told that with this kind of money, we could give each of the children in our area a
cup of soup each day for their lifetime. But giving children cups of soup will never
change their lives. Ubuntu is committed to providing the resources and opportuni-
ties that will enable our communities to empower themselves.
Thank you for continuing to grow with us and believe in us.

The essence of Ubuntu Education Fund comes through in our core
values—the things we stand for that make us unique:
Human-rights approach
Responsive, dynamic
programming
High-quality services
Community-focused leadership
‘Our organisation is based on the needs of the people in our com-
munity. We are accountable to our community to provide excellent
services and strive to be a solid foundation for the children we serve.
Ubuntu is bigger than any one person who works here—we are part of
the fabric of the community and will be here for many years to come.’
—Gcobani Zonke, Deputy President

Core Values
O
Our core values have helped us refine our methods of intervention. From the start, our strategy has
been to listen to our communities and respond to their needs with dynamic and comprehensive
programming. Over the past nine years we have built an attuned institution that offers sustained
support through access to resources and opportunities. By deepening the scope of our programmes,
Ubuntu fosters real and self-perpetuating change.
People Centred
Ubuntu recognises that by foregrounding human rights, we promote the self-determination
of all the individuals in our communities. Our approach places people at the centre of their
own development.
Accountability
Ubuntu is responsible to all stakeholders through transparent, efficient programming that
serves the needs of the children and families in our communities.
Excellence and Quality
Ubuntu’s ongoing success rests upon providing services of the highest standard. We believe that
access to quality healthcare and education is a right, not a privilege.
Community Institution
Ubuntu Education Fund is part of the fabric of the area we serve. Our programmes are run
by our communities, for our communities.

Our Programmes and Services
N
Nine years ago Ubuntu Education Fund was founded by Jacob Lief and Malizole “Banks” Gwaxula with
the belief that every child has the right to quality education and healthcare. Our ongoing aim is to en-
sure that children infected and affected by HIV/AIDS are able to make healthy choices—giving children
in the townships of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, access to the opportunities in life that they deserve.
To achieve this, we have developed a child-centred approach to address the specific challenges
within our communities. While each Ubuntu programme focuses on different aspects of these chal-
lenges, they work together to form a comprehensive response.

to address the unique needs of every child.’

U
Ubuntu’s Prevention programme uses multiple strategies to make HIV testing accessible, decrease
stigma and deliver reliable information to young people. Relaying facts through entertaining activities
and offering access to resources have both proven effective in reducing the number of new HIV
infections we see in our communities each year.

in reaching young males, the population sector with the

has also shown an improvement in client
retention. Clients who test positive are con-
nected at once with an Ubuntu care worker,
who assesses their immediate and long-term
needs and refers them into the relevant
services.
On-site VCT
In June of 2007 Ubuntu opened an on-site
walk-in VCT centre at our Zwide headquar-
ters. This space, dedicated exclusively to HIV
testing, is the first step in our plan to devel-
op an independent, Ubuntu-run HIV/TB
clinic. The site helps ease congestion at local
clinics, while offering those hesitant to test at
a clinic a more destigmatised environment
that is close to Ubuntu’s office, allowing for
walk-in clients.

BraDay (far right) with Ubuntu Peer Educators
at a community outreach event.
STAFF PROFILE BraDay As manager of Ubuntu’s Prevention team, BraDay helps kids see beyond
the stereotypes by talking honestly with them about HIV/AIDS. A graduate of Vista University with a
B.A. in higher education, BraDay joined the Ubuntu family in January 2008, bringing with him a wealth of
prevention and outreach experience in the field of youth and HIV/AIDS.
Previously, BraDay taught high school English and worked for Planned Parenthood South Africa,
LoveLife and HOPE Worldwide. It was his position with HOPE Worldwide that led him to Ubuntu
Education Fund. The two organisations collaborated on a voluntary counselling and testing event
during which 297 people were tested for HIV over a four-day period. The energy and scale of Ubuntu’s
event prompted BraDay to become more involved with the Prevention team, where in his current role
he develops creative interventions, manages existing programmes and mentors staff.
Ubuntu, BraDay says, ‘is where all the action is happening, and being part of such an amazing team in-
spires me.This is exactly what I’ve always wanted to do—help orphaned and vulnerable children who are
HIV positive realise that they have a future and prepare them to brace themselves for life’s challenges.’

In the past year, Ubuntu joined South Africa’s Department of Health and the International Centre for
AIDS Care and Treatment Programmes in an intensive strategic planning process aimed at improving
clinic capacity in the Eastern Cape Province. Since we launched our pilot initiative with KwaZakhele
Day Hospital, this primary care clinic has tested more clients than any other facility in the region.
Ubuntu continues to provide comprehensive care services at KwaZakhele Day Hospital and has
launched similar services at three other clinics.

CLIENT PROFILE Tsepo Ubuntu Prevention team member Bora Jordan became aware of a person
lying almost motionless in the back room of a home in Soweto-on-Sea Township during a ‘Know Your
Status’ workshop he was facilitating. Inquiring, he was told it was Tsepo, an ill cousin.When the workshop
ended, Bora spoke to the family about connecting this sick cousin with an Ubuntu care worker. The next
day, Ubuntu care worker Zuki Mbuseli came to the home. Tsepo disclosed to Zuki that he was HIV posi-
tive but was not taking any medication. Zuki then escorted Tsepo to the clinic for a tuberculosis test with
an Ubuntu nurse, for which Tsepo tested positive. He was immediately enrolled in Ubuntu’s drug readi-
ness programme, which prepares people to begin drug regimens.
After a few weeks of TB treatment and continuous counselling sessions with Zuki,Tsepo was enrolled
in an HIV drug treatment programme. Currently, Tsepo is adhering to his treatment while attending an
Ubuntu support group at KwaZakhele Day Hospital.

Ubuntu’s objective is to create stable environments where children and their families can thrive. To
serve this goal, our Care and Support team has spent the past year intent on improving the quality
of our programming. Now numbering more than 1,000 clients, our caseload has doubled in the past
six months. As a result we have provided further training and education for our staff in specific areas
including voluntary counselling and testing (VCT), treatment adherence and status notification as
well as counselling in nutrition, domestic violence and trauma.

Fezeka Mzalazala (centre) speaks with Lunga
(right) and his sisters on her weekly visit.
CLIENT PROFILE Lunga At age 21, Lunga is the only adult in his house. Having lost both parents
to AIDS, Lunga is now responsible for his three sisters: Babalwa, 16, Noxabiso, 15, and Sinoxolo, 8. Prior
to his death, their father enrolled the children in Ubuntu’s Care and Support programme to ensure their
well-being after he was gone.
Ubuntu Care and Support counsellor Fezeka Mzalazala took steps to protect the young family’s safety
by installing bars on the windows of their home, a lock on the door and a fence around the yard. Fezeka
also procured a R200-a-month child-support grant to help the family with various living costs. When it was
found that the youngest girl, Sinoxolo, was HIV positive, Fezeka worked swiftly to enroll her on antiretroviral
treatment and train Lunga and his sisters to properly administer the strict medication regimen. Fezeka visits
the family three times a week to monitor medication dosages, answer the children’s questions and discuss
other needs. Ubuntu pays their school fees and the girls participate in Ubuntu’s school holiday camps.
Lunga is enrolled in Ubuntu’s Empowerment programme, where he is involved with Umzi Wethu, a
local programme through the Wilderness Foundation which trains youth in the hospitality industry for
placement into game reserves and hotels.

CLIENT PROFILE Miranda Miranda Nyathi’s passion for education and teaching is plainly evident
even though she’s only 16 years old and a junior at Ndzondelelo High School. Her academic talent was
brought to the attention of Ubuntu by care worker Nomfundo Nishontsho in 2003. During a teachers’
strike, when her class was left without a substitute, Miranda displayed exceptional leadership skills, or-
ganising and teaching afternoon and weekend math classes for her peers. ‘If you love the subject you are
teaching,’ she said, ‘you have the ability to pass that love on to other learners.’
Ubuntu’s Empowerment programme worked closely with Miranda as she applied to the African Lead-
ership Academy (ALA), a prestigious two-year school that opened in Johannesburg in fall 2008. ALA’s
intensive curriculum focuses on helping students from countries all over Africa obtain the skills necessary
to become the next generation of leaders on the continent. Miranda is excited about this opportunity,
saying, ‘I think the challenge with the youth today is they lose interest in their education and want to
take shortcuts to success. Young people need guidance from teachers and the community so the right
decisions can be made.’ Miranda hopes to help young people make the choices that are right for them by
someday becoming Minister of Education in South Africa.
