Ubuntu is a Nguni Bantu word that translates to “humanity.” It reflects the philosophy of “I am because we are,” which highlights the interconnectedness of all people. Ubuntu is deeply embedded in African culture and promotes values such as empathy, communal responsibility, and the understanding that individual well-being is intertwined with the collective well-being of others. It underscores the belief that our humanity is defined through our relationships and the contributions we make to society as a whole.
