Our Values.
The values of Amantombazana and those of its founder member are imbedded in the lived philosophical concept of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is that pervasive human spirit of compassion, respect, integrity and self-sufficiency.
Compassion.
Amantombazana is driven by compassion, one of the major qualities of Ubuntu that focuses on extending generosity to underprivileged families and communities. Amantombazana is about uplifting and changing the lives of girls and women through compassionate acts.
Integrity.
Amantombazana believes; as Ubuntu values expect that those entrusted with public trust through people’s compassion and generosity, must not abuse and exploit this value nor detract from it.
Respect.
Amantombazana treats program participants with respect and dignity regardless of their economic and social status as Ubuntu calls for.
Self-sufficiency.
Amantombazana promotes the Ubuntu subculture of “Do-it-yourself” Zenzele for self-sufficiency. Amantombazana discourages the dependency syndrome through educating girls and promoting women’s programs to change their lives.
