Our 2024 Goal--To reach $40,000 by Dec. 31st!
Thanks to the generosity of wonderful friends and supporters of Ubuntu House, we have raised $30,000. Our goal for 2024 is to reach $40,000.
Our long term goal to obtain property with offices, meeting space and overnight accommodations (typically 1-3 night stays) for small retreats. This will be a space for learning about racial trauma, inner soul work, respite from mental fatigue, fellowship, and consensus-building.
Additionally, we hope to build alliances with partner organizations around the country.
Every donation is appreciated.
Come join us in our work.
