Everyday Ubuntu offers a chance to learn the fundamentals of the ubuntu philosophy and what it can teach about living a more selfless and empathetic life.

Ubuntu is a Xhosa word meaning 'humanity', which is often used in a philosophical sense. This philosophical meaning can be understood best through the proverb 'a person is a person through other persons'.

Everything we learn and experience throughout our lives is the direct result of our relationships with other people.

Being aware of the concept of ubuntu makes every one of us responsible not just for our own lives but also every life we come in contact with.
