Ubunye-Unity Trust
(UK, XT33757) Browse events
YTD Raised: £915.00
(UK, XT33757) Ubunye is a 100% volunteer organisation and has been started to give those people that are passionate about South Africa an opportunity to contribute to South African public benefit initiatives. We are currently working on two initiatives: Mozumuhle Primary School is based in Diepsloot, South Africa. We are fundraising for their need of many basic requirements and the only way we can break the poverty cycle is to ensure that people are able to get a decent basic education. It is near impossible to do this if you are cold, hungry and do not have functioning classrooms. We recognize that people want to help but are not always willing or able to take the next step and through our unique network we hope to make it easier for people to do exactly that. Ubunye means “the Power of Unity”. We at Ubunye believe that any challenge can be overcome if we stand together, using our diversified background and expertise to make a difference. Rooting-for-Rhino is an educational and fund raising project focussed on the global escalating rhino poaching crisis. Between 2008 and 2013 we have lost more than 2600 rhino - that's a 930 percent increase! Founded in South Africa, we now operate in the UK with our partner, Ubunye-Unity Trust. Together we aim to enhance children's knowledge of the rhino and bring a creative element to learning about conservation of these magnificent creatures and their natural habitat. People often ask, “What can I do to help?” We believe that we have an answer to this question as Rooting-for-Rhino provides a platform for everyone to get involved. We invite individuals to engage schools and groups around the world to show their support by standing in unity against poaching in the shape of a “Human Rhino Formation” and to raise funds. In the past year, we have reached about 16,500 children in 46 schools in South Africa, Holland, USA, Malaysia and Canada. Together these wonderful schools have raised in excess of ZAR 105,000.00 for our carefully chosen beneficiaries Chipembere Rhino Foundation, Wilderness Forever Wild’s Rhino Initiative, Bongi’s Quest by African Educational Stories. Please see our Facebook page for all of our information, photographs of our Human Rhino Formations and what we have been up to. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rooting-for-Rhino-School-Route-Challenge/255953621187748?fref=ts HELP US HELP THEM Thanks for your support!
