Ubuntu4All

Ubuntu4All was formed in 2014 in the suburb of Hout Bay, with the intention of providing services to children, youth and families of the communities of Hangberg and Imizamo Yethu. The startup focus was to provide numeracy, literacy and counselling support to the families that we came into contact with. From these basic support services, we grew into an organization that provides up to 8 support programs with primary school kids, high school children and young people in our programs. Our moto is simple:

''Changing lives together"

Based in the informal settlement of Imizamo Yethu in Hout Bay, Cape Town, we facilitate social, remedial and community-based projects in the schools and surroundings in conjunction with the family and other role players. Our team is directly involved in the schools and community on a daily basis with intervention programs, as well as with all other forms of social economic assistance.

Ubuntu4All’s strength is to deal with the child, and young person’s challenges as it occurs. We don't just fit a child or a person into a program but rather aim to fit the right program or intervention around the child, or person, and his or her needs. We use a holistic approach, where the individual and family are encouraged to use whatever resources are at their disposal to navigate together, as we guide them to explore different options that might be available to them to get to lasting and working solutions that might fit them. Ubuntu4All also believes in the principle of teamwork and family.

Gang Intervention and Prevention Program

Ubuntu Learning Factory

Our Ubuntu Learning Factory program is focused on unemployed youth with a basic entrepreneurial approach. Youth are in this case historically disadvantaged individuals between 18-35 years Old. We focus on basic home business development for youth because of the extremely high unemployment rates in the Hout Bay community. Youth often have access to tertiary education institutions but unable to attend due to various reasons and are sitting at home without work. By providing some of these relevant skills we aim to give them a better chance to generate an income and at a later stage, proceed into a formal job opportunity.

In the 8 years that I've been with Ubuntu4All, I have learned to be altruistic and have a keen willingness of learning even more about my surroundings. Ubuntu4All has helped me leave the comfort zone I was in and stopped me from future procrastination. My self-esteem has grown and I am more confident than I've ever been.

Joining Ubuntu4all has helped me a lot and transformed me into an active member of change in the community that I live in. As a program facilitator I enjoy the daily contact with children and youth and help them navigate the social challenges they face on a daily basis. I have come to experience first hand the power of transformation and positive change when young people make better and more informed choices. I have also come to realize that not everyone grows and reacts to change at the same pace and some take longer than others. I have been equipped with various skills that has allowed me to provide a better service to the clients I come into contact with.

Ubuntu4all as played a significant impact in my life and groomed me into the young leader that I am today. I am the product of change from the Gang Related Intervention and Prevention Program. I am thankful to the impact this organization made in my life by changing the perspective that I had because myself and so many other youngsters have been indoctrinated by gang members. Having had this opportunity to be educated around gangsterism was the turning point in my life. The team at Ubuntu4All help me unlock skills I thought I never had. I received all the necessary support and more, though out my schooling career until I had matriculated. I will never be able to thank Ubuntu4All enough for everything they have done and helped me achieve.
