This spirit of fraternity is giving life to a new community. And this is yet another dream we’re building together.

Imagine a place rooted in peace and service, where everyone sees each other as family: that’s the Ubuntu Nation. Born beside a refugee camp in Malawi, a neighboring country of Mozambique, this community was created to spark hope and invite all to experience the gentle joy of a new way of living.

The refugee camp nearby has existed since 1994. It was originally established as an emergency response, yet decades later, most children and young people still lack access to education, food is insufficient, and there are almost no opportunities for work or growth.

Our mission is to transform these stories and offering to children, youth, and the more than 56,000 refugees and vulnerable Malawians a new model of life, a new chance. Bit by bit, we’re introducing the idea of living together with compassion, and we’re seeing hearts open in return.

Ubuntu is a philosophy of love, and all hearts willing to love are welcome to join this community, to learn, to grow, and to help build it. Everything in Ubuntu is for the good of all: education, meals, job training, hands-on workshops… all grounded in an Ubuntu mindset of unity and shared purpose.

The Ubuntu Nation project offers workshops in agroforestry, biochar production, sewing, and soap making. All of which generate income and empower those we serve with skills for the future. Through these initiatives, Fraternity Without Borders has helped create jobs and income for 751 people.

The project has 10 hectares of land dedicated to agroforestry, with a team of six staff members working to make it a sustainable source of food for the community and a means of income through local sales.
