Ubuntu Beds aims to unite the hospitality industry with on-the-ground healthcare workers fighting Covid-19. Hostels, hotels, BnB’s and guest-houses will be able to offer safe harbour to our doctors and nurses.
South Africa (2 June 2020) – We have all seen how Covid-19 has crippled the Italian health system. Lombardy, a region in Northern Italy, was the epicentre of their Corona Pandemic.
When Kim Whitaker asked a Doctor from Lombardy what they would have done differently at the start of the pandemic, he responded, “I would have arranged accommodation for the doctors and nurses in the now-closed hotels.”
Healthcare workers were exhausted and unable to return home for fear of infecting their families, as a result, they were sleeping poorly and burning out.
From this, Ubuntu Beds was founded in South Africa… and Kim has joined Brent Lindeque to speak about the journey.
2019 was a big year for the JacPod podcast series, and especially Good Things Guy… with a growing weekly audience that has seen the channel climbing to No 2 in South Africa on Apple Podcasts.
There are millions of amazing shows around the globe. Humbled and honoured to stand side by side with some of the biggest names in the world. Thank you to everyone who listens & supports the show. It makes my heart incredibly happy to know that the work I do, matters.
