Sabuntu Intercultural Society is a charity organization dedicated to co-creating programs that promote, preserve and nurture transcultural pride, embrace multiculturalism, and nurture communal solidarity. We center on collective liberation and serve communities of Melanated people of African descent, Indigenous peoples and all racial equity deserving people. 

At Sabuntu, we live and breathe the principles of Ubuntu—a powerful African philosophy that teaches us, “We are because you are.” It embodies the essence of interconnectedness, communal solidarity, and collective well-being. Ubuntu is not just a catchphrase, but a way of life, where the strength of the whole community uplifts the individual and vice versa.

Our name, Sabuntu, is a fusion of Sankofa and Ubuntu. Sankofa, an Akan word from West Africa, Ghana encourages us to “go back and fetch it”—to learn from our past, honor our history, and build a brighter future grounded in the wisdom of our ancestors. This timeless concept of reflection and forward movement is at the heart of our mission to rise together, honoring where we’ve come from and where we’re going.
