The tutu legacy fund
Desmond Tutu has brought the light of kindness, justice and healing where once the darkness of hate, injustice and cruelty reigned. He has given his all in pursuit of this mission. Now the time has come, as Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu has recently passed on, that his torch be passed on to future generations in order to secure his rich legacy.
We should all help
A Tutu Legacy Fund (TLF) has been launched to secure Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu’s example for the future.
To strengthen and sustain the fund, your financial support will be appreciated as we open the new “Truth to Power” exhibition, one that not only looks back and learn lessons from history, but aims to empower new activists for fundamental change.

Learning from Legacy
Learning from Legacy aims to make the Arch’s legacy accessible to various local and global audiences through the exhibition and its outputs.
The intention is to not only spread ideas, but also to empower young African leaders. Where leadership is a responsibility, moral leadership provides values or meaning for people to live by, inspiration to act and motivation to hold oneself accountable through the intention to serve. Role models are needed to take up the baton to enact leadership in action.
