TOGETHER
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Making it Happen Together

We believe communities should be in the driving seat of change.

That's why Ubunye's programmes are led by the community. 

Where We Work

 

Ubunye partners with rural communities in the Ngqushwa Municipality (Amathole District) and Fort Brown village in Makana Municipality (Sarah Baartman District), Eastern Cape.

The Ubunye Challenge Cup

 

In 15 rural schools across South Africa’s Eastern Cape, students are creating chants, painting jerseys, debating fiercely, and chasing goals - on the field and in life.

​

The Ubunye Challenge Cup is more than a tournament - it’s a celebration of youth potential, powered by community and sport.

 

With your support, this student-led initiative will fund soccer and netball teams, provide transport and refreshments, supply art materials, and sponsor whole schools to compete.
