Ubuntu Now Partners Up with Sonke Gender Justice to Target Rape and HIV/AIDS in South Africa
Ubuntu Now, a Colorado nonprofit corporation, announced a far reaching partnership with the South African organization Sonke Gender Justice today. Ubuntu Now's main focus area is its "South Africa Project."
Westminster, CO, November 05, 2008 --(PR.com)-- South Africa Project tries to channel the attention on South Africa related to the 2010 World Cup into cause marketing projects. One of the main focus areas is to support rape prevention programs for boys and girls. "We are very glad that we found Sonke Gender Justice. They have an amazing team and their programs, including One Man Can, are as good as it gets." states Klaus Holzapfel, the founder and president of Ubuntu Now.
Ubuntu Now will be using cause marketing and social media activities (including web videos) to raise funds and increase awareness to support Sonke Gender Justice.
Sonke Gender Justice has a partnership with Grassrootsoccer and has many very credible supporters like the Ford Foundation, WHO, World Bank, Unicef, UNHCR, & the International Women’s Health Coalition. "Ubuntu Now is another piece in our puzzle of meaningful partnerships and we are looking forward to a long-term cooperation with our new friends from Colorado" states Dean Peacock, co-founder of Sonke Gender Justice.
The partnership is not limited to the Soccer World Cup. Ubuntu Now will cooperate with Sonke Gender Justice and its partners and supporters to maximize the impact the 2010 Soccer world Cup can have on South Africa. Ubuntu Now has experienced a very high interest in its initial conversations with potential cause marketing partners. "This is the perfect time for companies to partner up with non-profits and have a long lasting impact. Cause marketing projects will by far outpace the traditional World Cup advertising for this event. Ubuntu Now is positioned to be a major player in this area and is truly dedicated to this partnership" says Dave Taylor, Vice President of Ubuntu Now.

Background on the 2010 Soccer World Cup
The 2010 World Cup will be the biggest sports event Africa has ever hosted. The country will be in the spot light of the world. They’d like to see South Africans celebrating and the rest of the world to join in.
Right now the country is struggling with rape, violence and an HIV/AIDS pandemic. Any celebrating taking place today would be overshadowed by the huge number of kids that lost their parents and 1000 people dying of AIDS each day. The country needs support in order to shift things around and create signs of hope that allow us to truly enjoy this event that the the world will be watching.
