Their vision? To provide vulnerable children in the townships with what every child deserves-everything.
Today, their organization, Ubuntu Education Fund, is upending conventional wisdom about how to break the cycle of poverty. Shunning traditional development models, Ubuntu has redefined the concept of scale, focusing on how deeply it can impact each child's life rather than how many it can reach. Ubuntu provides everything a child needs and deserves, from prenatal care for pregnant mothers to support through university-essentially, from cradle to career. Their child-centered approach reminds us that one's birthplace should not determine one's future.
I Am Because You Are sets forth an unflinching portrayal of the unique rewards and challenges of the nonprofit world while offering a bold vision for a new model of development.

Terms of sale
Martin Bradley - [sole trader] [online sales only] - No Premises Bexhill-On-Sea East Sussex TN40 1SP United Kingdom My email address is: martin.kerr.2021@gmail.com - I do not have a shop - I just sell my books online. Most postage destinations offer a tracked and signed for service and in these cases, this is the postage method I will use. To certain locations, I may only be able to use a Tracked postal service, and will do so, but all goods are sent fully insured so you have the best protection available. At the end of the day, I want my customers to be happy with the experience of buying from me. I guarantee all of my descriptions and will be happy to accept returns if there is an error in these descriptions. If a refund is agreed, the Buyer will arrange to return the item(s) in the original packing or to a similar standard. The Seller will send a refund, when the returned goods are received and inspected. The refund will include postage costs if there has been an error in the description. If there are no errors and the buyer returns the goods because they have changed their minds, the return postage costs will not be refunded. Thank you again.
Very occasionally I may not be able to fulfill our contract as the item may be missing or just misplaced, so I reserve the right of cancellation of the contract I have created with you through a sale. I thank you for this. Kind Regards, Martin Bradley
