The third child of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nontombi Naomi Tutu is an internationally recognized speaker and consultant on gender, race and international relations. As chairperson of the Tutu Foundation from 1985 until 1990, she helped South African refugees in African countries get scholarships to learn skills that would make them self-supporting while in exile, as well as to prepare them for constructive roles in the free South Africa.   

In addition to her speaking engagements, Tutu is a consultant for two organizations that reflect the breadth of her involvement in human rights issues. The organizations are the Spiritual Alliance to Stop Intimate Violence (SAIV), and the foundation for Hospices in Sub-Saharan Africa.
