Prana Angola's Ubuntu program was designed for companies and organizations. Ubuntu is an African philosophy that emphasizes the importance of community, solidarity and shared humanity. The word has a Bantu origin and is used in several African languages and cultures, especially in South Africa. In essence, Ubuntu can be translated into Portuguese as "I am because we are", that is, the idea is that our humanity is intrinsically linked to the humanity of others and that we all depend on each other to survive and prosper. The Ubuntu philosophy also emphasizes the importance
of empathy, compassion, respect and dignity for all people.
In South Africa, the concept of Ubuntu is often applied as a political, economic and social philosophy. The Ubuntu philosophy emphasizes the importance of social justice, equality, non-violence, cooperation and sharing. The idea is that when all members of a community work together, sharing their resources and skills, the community as a whole benefits.
The Concept of Ubuntu it has also been applied in the business context, especially in African countries and in particular in
Angola. Companies that adopt the Ubuntu philosophy seek to build a corporate culture that values collaboration, solidarity, empathy and respect for employees, customers, suppliers and local communities. This can translate into business practices that include:
