The tutu legacy fund

Through the example of his own life and work, including in the struggle against apartheid.

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.
