Join us for the Pestalozzi International Ubuntu Gala Dinner, a special evening celebrating education, community, and the shared responsibility to create opportunities for young people around the world.
Ubuntu is widely understood in Zambia as thriving together. It reflects a way of living rooted in compassion, community, and lifting one another up. This spirit sits at the heart of Pestalozzi International, and our belief that lasting change happens when people come together in support of young people and their futures.
Held at Drapers’ Hall in Central London, this Gala Dinner will bring together supporters, alumni, partners, and friends of Pestalozzi International for an inspiring evening of connection, storytelling, and fundraising. The event is designed to celebrate our legacy and future vision, while raising vital funds to support our global leadership programmes.
