​As the founder of Ubuntu for Humanity, Rinaz Jamal, a junior at Franklin High School in Tennessee, is dedicated to spreading the philosophy of Ubuntu, which means, “I am because we are.” She was only 13 years old when she started her 501(c)(3) non-profit to raise funds to promote quality education around the world, especially in areas with inequitable access to this basic human right. So far, in her efforts to address disparities in attaining quality education, she has collaborated with several non-profit organizations such as Develop Africa, Backfield in Motion, Build a School in Africa, and Kids Empowered by Your Support (KEYS) to help build schools in Sierra Leone and Mali, sponsor the education of dozens of youths from underprivileged communities, and donate high-quality renewable solar lights for children in rural sub-Saharan Africa.
