Nelson Mandela International Day

Nelson Mandela International Day takes place on the 18th of July. Celebrated annually on the same date, this day honours the legacy of Nelson Mandela, recognising his contributions to peace, freedom, and social justice. It is a call to action for individuals to make a positive impact in their communities.

Nelson Mandela International Day was established by the United Nations in 2009 to commemorate the birth of Nelson Mandela, who dedicated his life to fighting for equality and human rights. Mandela, affectionately known as Madiba, played a crucial role in ending apartheid in South Africa and promoting reconciliation and democracy. This day encourages people to spend 67 minutes doing something good for others, representing the 67 years Mandela spent fighting for social justice. It is a global movement to inspire change and continue Mandela’s legacy of service and leadership.
