About Ubuntu Strategies:

Ubuntu Strategies was built from the Ubuntu philosophy that originates from the Nguni Bantu languages of southern Africa, particularly the Zulu and Xhosa languages. It is often translated to mean "humanity towards others" or "I am because we are.”

In a broader sense, Ubuntu represents the philosophy of interconnectedness, which emphasizes the importance of community, empathy, and mutual respect. It suggests that our well-being and happiness are intertwined with those of others - and that is our approach with all clients.

At Ubuntu Strategies, our clients are organizations and businesses working toward a mission of bettering communities. We pride ourselves on delivering high-quality services AND passion to every project with a collaborative approach.
