We believe in the inherent dignity of all people. For 60 years, that belief has shaped our support for visionary leaders and social justice organizations in Southern Africa. From the struggle to end apartheid and colonialism to the dawn of a new era of democracy, the work of these visionaries not only has transformed our region but The Ford Foundation works with visionary leaders and also has inspired the world. We are proud organizations worldwide to change social structures and institutions so that all people have the opportunity to reaffirm our long-term commitment to to reach their full potential, contribute to society, have Southern Africa’s continuing struggle for a voice in the decisions that affect them, and live and work in dignity. fairness and equality.

This commitment to social justice is carried out through programs that strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation, and advance human knowledge, creativity and achievement.
