Project Report | Apr 3, 2026
You did it! You fully funded our project!

By Martha (Nobuntu) Cummings | Executive Director

Dear All:

Many thanks to all of you for coming together to make this project happen! Yes, I am happy to report that a final amazing donation came through on March 31, 2026, and now we have the green light to finish this remarkable tech initiative.

Yes, thanks to you, we will be able to fund all the remaining elements articulated in our project summary: the IT services, Internet installation, a printer, and a bank safe to finish this first-ever computer laboratory for 550 K - 7 South African children and their teachers.

We have already reached out to the IT specialist to schedule a time to take care of everything. As I recently wrote to one our donors, he does hold these school projects close to his heart - so we will work together to get this rolling as soon as possible.

Since the project is fully funded, GlobalGiving instructed us that we must either increase the goal or deactivate the project. We will deactivate it (because we do not need to increase it), yet it will remain on the GlobalGiving site for everyone to view.

For UPdates, you may either check GlobalGiving, or you may sign UP to follow us on social media (FB Universal Promise, IG universalpromise, and LinkedIn Universal Promise), via our newsletter (https://www.universalpromise.org/contact-1), or on our website (https://www.universalpromise.org/whats-happening-now), where this will definitely be highlighted.

Finally, thank you for valuing the children, families, and schools we serve in rural South Africa. It means the world to us that you do not let borders define or confine your empathy.

All the best,
Martha (Nobuntu) Cummings
Executive Director
