## Description

Ubuntu Pathways is a nonprofit organization that is committed to supporting vulnerable children in their journey out of poverty. Operating in the townships of Gqeberha, South Africa, Ubuntu Pathways provides a comprehensive system of health, education, and social support to create lasting transformations in the lives of these children. With a focus on depth rather than breadth, Ubuntu Pathways has redefined traditional development models by trusting those closest to the problem to devise the solutions. What began as a fortuitous meeting between two strangers, Jacob Lief and Malizole 'Banks' Gwaxula, has blossomed into an internationally-recognized blueprint for community transformation. Through partnerships with the Bertha Foundation and other organizations, Ubuntu Pathways has created a world-class staff development initiative, with 95% of its team now comprised of leaders from the community they serve. Ubuntu Pathways measures success through university graduates rather than the distribution of textbooks, using an on-track/off-track assessment framework developed in collaboration with McKinsey & Company. By focusing on long-term outcomes and maintaining accountability, Ubuntu Pathways ensures that its impact is sustainable and genuinely helps children break free from the cycle of poverty.
