What is Mandela Day? – Following the success of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday celebrations in London’s Hyde Park in June 2008, a decision was made to celebrate Mr. Mandela’s birthday each year with a day dedicated to his life’s work and that of his charitable organizations, and to ensure his legacy continues forever.
The Mandela Day campaign message is simple: Mr. Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. Mandela Day is a call to action for people everywhere to take responsibility for making the world a better place. By becoming a Mandela Day Changemaker you can show that actions speak louder than words.
Get Involved: Nelson Mandela gave 67 years of his life to the struggle for social justice.
