IT IS IN YOUR HANDS

Johannesburg event registration

On #MandelaDay2024, we urge you to identify those in need around you and do what you can to make a difference for them.

In South Africa, the Nelson Mandela Foundation is focusing its 2024 Mandela Day work on its priority social justice areas – early childhood development, food security and just cities.

Join us. It is still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity.

“When a man has done what he considers to be his duty to his people and his country, he can rest in peace. I believe I have made that effort and that is, therefore, why I will sleep for the eternity.” – Nelson Mandela

By giving a little of your time each day to making a change that’s close to your heart or by giving a little of your time to make a difference to the life of someone else, you can start changing the world around you.

There are so many ways to make a difference.

Start with what you are passionate about and where you know your actions will have a lasting impact.

Follow Mandela Day on social media, and when you post, please use #MandelaDay2024 and #ItIsInYourHands:
