UBUNTU

FOR THE JOY OF FRIENDSHIP & JOY OF GIVING

UNBUNTU & MARY'S FINDS 

Amal Safdar & Mary Padian

Amal and I decided to team up Ubuntu

with Mary's Finds and create something

that represents our friendship and what

Ubuntu stands for. Ubuntu is an African

philosophy that means 'I am, because

we are." It describes the

interconnectedness among all things,

like friendship. A real, genuine friendship

is hard to come by. If you have one person

you can count on all will be well because

you have a friend. True friends walk

through life together. There’s an understanding that the binding together of people in friendship helps each of us define and realize a meaningful life. Zane Wilemon, founder of Ubuntu, said “We all depend on every other being on this planet in ways large and small, and we feel those connections now more strongly than ever. To reach our full potential, both individually and as a society, we must help others reach theirs: I am because we are."

For every purchase that you make, you are helping create a sustainable livelihood for thousands of Maasai women and their families. As a non-profit business, Ubuntu offers their Mums meaningful jobs with above-market wages and benefits, while generating revenue that supports their special needs center.
