Dear Friends,

Over the past eighteen years, Ubuntu has grown from an idea born in a broom closet to the global standard for community develop-ment. Today, the Ubuntu Model is internation-ally recognized as a powerful blueprint for sustainable change. From day one, we have dedicated ourselves to building an intercon-nected 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 ex-pand our programming. We have partnered with African School for Excel-lence 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 disadvan-taged 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.

Jacob Lief Founder & CEO

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.

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.

40% of students do not graduate from high school

Highest infant mortality rate in South Africa

78% of children live in poverty

1 in 3 people is HIV-positive

80% of youth are unemployed

The Ubuntu Model is a grassroots innovation that revolutionizes conven-

tional development models and yields global dividends.

THE UBUNTU MODEL

Building a sustainable institution

Invest in people and a Centre that inspires the

highest standard

Based in thecommunityListen to the townships’ needs and utilize resources through strategic partnerships

Everything. Everyday.

“Ubuntu gave me hope at a time when I felt lost. The dedicated team ensured I had all the support I needed to care for my baby.”

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 moth-

ers 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.

100% of toddlers were on track to begin

primary school

11,945 health services provided

100% of HIV-positive expectant mothers gave birth

to healthy, HIV-negative babies

393 clients received life-saving HIV

treatment and care

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 courses2,303 psychosocial

services delivered

90% of Ubuntu scholars qualified to attend university

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 scholar-

ship 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 pro-

viding toddlers with a strong foundation and shaping the future of South

Africa’s next generation.

35 local corporate partners employ Ubuntu graduates

95% of Ubuntu’s staff comes from the communities we serve

VISION 2020 is Ubuntu’s bold five-year plan to expand our campus in Port Elizabeth and amplify our transformative model around the world.

Progress UpdateIn 2016, we launched the expansion of our early childhood develop-

ment and vocational training programs and secured the funding to break

ground on our campus expansion, which will:

• Double classroom hours and increase the number of toddlers

in school by 40%

• Place 750 students into meaningful employment

Next Steps In 2017, we will partner with African School for Excellence to create a

high-achieving primary school, providing:

• Daily instruction in an academically challenging environment for

240 Ubuntu children

• A continuum of world-class educational support resulting in a

100% high school graduate rate

Expand Ubuntu‘s Early Childhood Development program

Increase the capacity and efficiency of Ubuntu's pediatric clinic Build

a world-class vocational training centre

Partnerwith a high-achieving primary school

Create the Ubuntu Institute to help others achieve sustainable change in their communities

Establish an institutional stability fund to ensure long-term impact and drive innovation

Global Events

Ubuntu’s Award-Winning Galas Our annual galas celebrated the spirit of ubuntu in three continents. The legendary Hugh Masekela led the party at our inau-gural Johannesburg Gala chaired by Nom-khita Nqweni and Ciko & Kholisa Thomas. Hundreds gathered in South Africa, London, and New York City to support Ubuntu’s life-changing work, and raised over $2 million.

Ubuntu Social Community From New York City to London to Los Ange-les, the Ubuntu Social Community took the lead in partying with a purpose. Our dedi-cated host committees helped us raise over $120,000. Special thanks to our chairs and leaders: Sean Abramson, Alexander Bank, Josefin Elfner & Paulo Eapen, David Fisher, Adam Mirels, Erica Rabinowitz, Deborah & Brandon Shainfeld, and Therese Wallin & Leopold Cronstedt Colt.

Ubuntu Clubs Student-led Ubuntu Clubs at Abercorn School, The American School in London, Bucknell Uni-versity, and Columbia High School organized numerous fundraisers, events, and social media campaigns in support of our mission. A group of sixteen students from The American School in London visited the Ubuntu Centre in Port Elizabeth on a week-long global services trip.

Changing the Conversation

Ubuntu Founder & CEO Jacob Lief appeared in Fortune’s 2016 40 Under 40 annual rank-ing of the most influential young people in business.

Ubuntu launched Vision 2020 in front of more than 2,000 world leaders at the Clin-ton Global Initiative 2016 Annual Meeting in New York City.

Ubuntu Podcasts Following the success of Jacob Lief’s pod-cast, Philanthropy Unfiltered, produced in col-laboration with University of Pennsylvania’s Center for High Impact Philanthropy, Ubuntu launched a new series, Failures from the Field. Hosted by Chief External Relations Officer Jordan Levy, this series dives deep into some of the most pervasive problems facing inter-national development with prominent thought leaders like Chelsea Clinton, Reverend Jesse Jackson, and Pierre Ferrari.
