In southern Africa, there is a belief called ubuntu―the idea that we are all connected. No matter where we’re from or who we are, a person is a person through their connections to other people. We may be different, but our hearts beat the same.
Ubuntu can also be applied in the financial context, as a way of doing business that is ethical, sustainable, and inclusive.
Ubuntu can help people who work with money and other things. Ubuntu can teach them to be good, careful, and friendly to everyone. Ubuntu can also make them think differently from other people who only care about making more money and being better than others. Ubuntu can help them work together and share with others, so that everyone can be happy and healthy.
