Ubuntu Foundation:
Creating a World that Works
Ubuntu:
I am, because you are.
“Ubuntu” is a South African word meaning "I am because you are." It signifies that everything is interconnected and interdependent. This interconnectedness extends to the entire cosmos, where everything exists in relationship.
If we grasped this concept fundamentally, we would be mindful of every thought, word, and action, knowing their impact on everything and everyone. There is only one of us here.
Imagine being mindful of every thought, word, and action because they can influence the entire cosmos. That is the inherent power within each of us.
Sometimes, we feel powerless as individuals against big forces. How can one person make an impact? The answer is through Ubuntu—recognizing our true nature and power. Even the smallest act can affect the whole.
Now more than ever, we need to step into our greatness as human beings. Our planet needs every one of us to contribute. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. That is the interconnected nature of reality.
YOU, as an individual, have the power to impact the entire cosmos with every thought, word, and action. Believe it or not.
