UMTAPO is a social justice organisation holistically engaged in promoting anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-corruption, peace and socio-economic justice through popular education. Its philosophical framework is based on an ethical African humanism (ubuntu).<\/p>\n

\n\u2022 Collective Mobilisation
\n\u2022 Partnership-building<\/p>\n

Its overall scope, however, is national as addressed through its public platforms for discourse, its publications, and its university student movement.<\/p>\n

To promote self-reliance and to ensure its ultimate elimination, UMTAPO has consistently set up local structures along its path, for example, PEACE CLUBS in Schools, the UMTAPO Student Movement at universities, and the UBUNTU Community Forums, People against Corruption Forums, UMTAPO Women\u2019s Coalition, and Self-Help Projects in communities.<\/p>\n
Years in Operation 1987<\/p>\n Registration Details Registered Non-Profit Organisation (024-294-NPO) Wish List UMTAPO’s concern is the rapid downward spiral of the country particularly in terms of moral values which is depicted by the unprecedented levels of corruption and violence towards women and children. UMTAPO has been actively involved in building ethical leadership amongst young people at universities throughout the country as well as promoting Peace Clubs at schools. Like many organisations, UMTAPO is experiencing a severe financial crisis and may be unable to continue its work beyond 2020. Its wish is that government departments and relevant donor agencies will consider the value and impact of its work and provide the necessary support.<\/p>\n
