About Us

"Pearls of Ubuntu" typically refers to the valuable and insightful teachings, sayings, or principles derived from the African philosophy of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu (refers to a group of Bantu- speaking ethnic groups in Southern Africa) term meaning "humanity", emphasizing community, interconnectedness, and mutual care. The "pearls" in this context symbolize the wisdom and guidance that come from understanding and living by these principles. Ubuntu embodies a sense of community and interconnectedness, often summarized as "I am because we are," which extends beyond individual existence to a collective human experience. It reflects an ethical framework where individual actions are considered within the context of their impact on the community and the environment.The essence of Ubuntu and related philosophies, like those in other African cultures, emphasizes moving beyond the self to consider the broader impacts on society and the environment, thus embodying the idea of "beyond" in a more philosophical and ethical sense.
