This is our story
Founded in 2011, the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation represents one of the world’s most iconic leaders, and his life-long partner. The Foundation strives to ensure their uncompromised bravery is celebrated, communicated and curated for posterity.
THE FOUNDATION
Guided by the values of our Founders, our goal is to nurture a generation of courageous leaders – from all ages and walks of life – to have an impact in the world by embodying the values and example left to us by Archbishop Tutu.
We carry the Arch’s legacy as a global signpost for exceptional leadership, and
profound moral courage. To tackle the challenges of our time effectively, we need
both technical development solutions and a new wave of action driven by courage,
capacity, and compassion – at a societal level. This latter work to reimagine the
nature of our societies is the focus of the Tutu Legacy Foundation. We do this
through three programmes.

This takes place through research and development, archival digitisation, exhibition design and curation and effective programmes and events to promote these values. The core of the Foundation’s work is The Courage to Heal, which is supported by three strategic pillars.
