Nelson Mandela

Mandela Day, celebrated on July 18, is an annual international day adopted by the United Nations. It is more than a celebration of Nelson Mandela's life and legacy, it is a global movement to take his life's work into a new era and change our world for the better.

Mandela Day asks us all to “Take Action; Inspire Change; Make Every Day a Mandela Day.”

How to get involved?

The overarching objective of Mandela Day is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so build a global movement for good. Ultimately it seeks to empower communities everywhere.

Each of us can make a small difference. If we all make a difference together, our collective effort can truly change the world.

Mandela Day is not a holiday. It is a day for all of us to opt into humanity – to roll up our sleeves and play an active role in building our communities.

This is an opportunity for each of us to share Nelson Mandela's vision of a better future for all.

Quote – “It is time for the next generations to continue our struggle against social injustice and for the rights of humanity. It is in your hands.” – Nelson Mandela

By becoming a Mandela Day change maker and doing something that affects positive change every day, you can show that actions speak louder than words.
