OUR MISSION

Ubuntu Design Group exists to solve architectural design and financial inclusion problems of low-income communities around the world. Our mission is to empower inadequately sheltered families to overcome economic and social challenges and barriers, through innovation and collaboration in designing for the future vision of their home and community.

 
If apartheid architecture could segregate and oppress, Ubuntu-led design can bring people together and enable opportunities for all.
