Are you a leader in a design firm or organization active in the architectural profession? We would love to speak to you about becoming a sponsor of the Ubuntu Architecture Summer Abroad Program.
Have additional questions? Please email josh.sanabria@ubuntuasa.org and let us know about your interest in helping support social impact architecture.
Become a SponsorEvery year, the UASA engages 30+ students in a unique educational experience to design & build dignified and culturally-influenced homes for resilient families in South Africa.
Sponsors, like you, help open up this experience to as diverse a group as possible. Without sponsorships, this unique educational opportunity would be out of reach for many deserving participants.
Sponsorships can be done in 2 ways: a direct sponsorship of a student of your choice or a general sponsorship for a student we select. In both scenarios, your donation is tax deductible, in the USA, and goes directly towards the student's program fees.
