Banks Gwaxula co-founded Ubuntu Education Fund, an NGO that employs over 55 people and has transformed the lives of over 40,000 children, often from cradle to career.

At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
