Description

Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a celebrated social-rights activist and Noble Peace Prize winner, led the movement to end apartheid in South Africa. Since then, he has worked to promote democracy and tolerance in his country and around the world. The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation, a non-profit founded to honor Tutu and his wife, carries on his vision of a fairer and more caring world. The foundation uses faith as a connecting force in its many activities, including holding a summer camp for primary school children, helping at-risk youth ages eighteen to twenty plan their careers, and hosting annual international peace lectures. Corporation funding will enable the Office of the Founders to continue to support and promote the work of the foundation.
