Ep. 8: Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe: CEO, Desmond Tutu Tutudesk Campaign Centre | Strength lies in unity

Thandeka Tutu-Gxashe, CEO of the Desmond Tutu Tutudesk Campaign Centre, spoke to Mungi about the ways we carry on the legacy of our parents, whether we are aware or not. She shared her journey from public health and clinical research to running Tutudesk, a charitable educational organisation which addresses the 95 million desk shortage for children in schools across sub-Saharan Africa. Her passion for education and public health, especially the fight against HIV/AIDS, and improving the health and education experiences of young people—thus promoting global peace and justice—has led her journey until now. She speaks about the impact of Covid-19 and how it brought to light the inequities in our world as well as the reset we now need to make our world more equitable. Thandeka teaches us that this is all possible through "our little bits of good" as her father says, because strength lies in unity!
