Founded in 2013, the Tutu Legacy Foundation strives to preserve the legacy of the Tutus, while taking their example into the future by growing and facilitating powerful and courageous voices of uncompromised bravery in the world.
WHAT WE DO
Guided by the values of its Founders, the Foundation aims to nurture the courage to heal from the wounds of discrimination, prejudice, and conflict in societies across the world.
This takes place through the development of popular education and public engagement on the Arch and Mrs Leah Tutu’s life and example, deep facilitated processes of courageous conversation, the development of leaders of moral courage, and advocacy on key issues of freedom, justice, and equality across the world.
WHY WE ARE HERE

Learning from Legacy
Through using the platform of the Truth to Power exhibition, we engage a wide range of audiences in learning about the story and impact of Archbishop Desmond and Mrs Leah Tutu.
Leading for Humanity
We bring together diverse groups of leaders from across society to do the
work of self-repair for societal repair – by exploring the values of compassion, ubuntu, forgiveness, courage, and justice.
Advocacy for Societal Healing
At the heart of our work is the mission to extend Archbishop Tutu’s commitment to societal healing, so powerfully demonstrated through chairing the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
• Reconciliation, through which we keep trying to find each other across divides;
• Reparation, through which we collectively take action against injustice and oppression; and
• Reimagination, through which we reimagine who we can be together as a society.
We do this through courageous conversations, healing methodologies, and deep dialogue work to strengthen democracy, tackle violence and conflict, and build our shared humanity.
