Ubuntu Education Fund

Ubuntu Pathways (formerly Ubuntu Education Fund) is a nonprofit organization that provides an integrated support system of health, education, and social support in the townships of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Since 1999, Ubuntu Pathways has built an integrated system of medical, health, educational, and social interventions to help orphaned or vulnerable children succeed in the worlds of higher education and employment. Ubuntu Pathways was founded on the dream of giving township children the same opportunities to succeed as someone who is born into privilege. We do what it takes to educate and keep each child healthy. This includes basic necessities that should be every child’s right: health care, a roof over his or her head, someone to talk to, books and pens and school uniforms, nutritious food, and the time to play, imagine, and enjoy being a kid.
