The Novalis Ubuntu Institute was founded in 1983 with the purpose of making a creative contribution to the educational, social and cultural challenges of our times.
Sunrise Ranch is partnering with the Novalis Ubuntu Institute, in Cape Town, South Africa, to raise funds for these emergency needs:
- EMERGENCY FUNDING TO BRIDGE COVID19 LOCKDOWN ANTICIPATED LOSS OF INCOME ($25, 000 USD)
- PURCHASE THE LAND ON WHICH NOVALIS CENTRE STANDS ($83, 000)
- REPAIR AND UPGRADE THE EXISTING BUILDING ($66, 375)
- RAISE SEED CAPITAL FOR NEW NOVALIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE ($165, 935)
The Novalis Ubuntu programs have positively impacted communities locally and internationally, with a key focus on child-centered innovative and accelerated-learning programs already successfully taken by over 100, 000 teachers and community leaders. The core focus is empowering and strengthening the creativity and resilience of dedicated men and women who are educating and caring for vulnerable children living in impoverished communities.
Novalis Centre is situated in Cape Town, South Africa, in close proximity to public transport and is accessible to all communities in the Western Cape.
The Novalis Centre hosts training and community enrichment programs and activities in a uniquely designed Resource Centre, with six meeting and training rooms, a large assembly space catering up to 250 people.
In addition, there is an Information Centre, library and café with ITC networking space; our organic vegetable garden supplies our kitchen and an additional teaching site. Novalis hosts regular markets, concerts and a multitude of civil society gatherings.
We hope you’ll join us in supporting this important center.
