Welcome To Ubuntu International

Here's where you'll find everything Ubuntu

Welcome to Ubuntu International, your premier destination for embracing Ubuntu as a way of life. Rooted in the African philosophy of interconnectedness and humanity, Ubuntu teaches us that 'I am because we are.'

UBUNTU {oǒ’boǒntoō|}

Origin:

The word Ubuntu comes from the Xhosa/Zulu culture, the community into which Nelson Mandela was born, and has been summarized in the phrase, "Umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu" in the Nguni language of Xhosa, Zulu, or Ndebele. The concept of this phrase can be translated to mean, "A person is a person through other persons," or "I am because we are." In his explanation, Mandela touches upon the multi-faceted nature of Ubuntu, as well as the way one feels Ubuntu as an innate duty to support one's fellow man.

People should enrich themselves, meaning grow in their own Ubuntu, but true enrichment will naturally align with the duty to act towards the spiritual growth of one's community. Ubuntu is a spiritual ideal, a way of life that is conceptually represented in a wide range of sub-Saharan African societies. While Ubuntu exists in many variations within different African cultures and languages, each conceptualization retains the same core of meaning that is both a goal and a guide for humanity. In a philosophical sense, it promotes the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity".

At Ubuntu International, we celebrate this philosophy by sharing insights on sustainable living, permaculture, community empowerment, and more.
