The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund’s Girl Power Against Violence Project:
Aims to address gender-based violence by empowering girls and young women, while also engaging boys and young men in prevention efforts. The project focuses on creating safer environments in homes, schools, and communities by reducing vulnerability to abuse, neglect, and violence.
Still thinking about Friday night in Cannes… From performances by Rene Idowu and Debbie Sledge, to the powerful moments spotlighting the work and voices of children, it was a beautiful evening centred around connection, generosity, and shared purpose.
Here are a few moments from the evening. ✨

A beautiful evening in Cannes in support of children. ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us at the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund’s 4th annual gala gathering last night. Your support, presence, and belief in this work continue to help us carry Madiba’s vision forward.
Here are a few highlights from the evening, with more moments still to come.
#NMCF30Years #ServeLikeMadiba #CannesFilmFestival
Last year at Cannes, we were reminded that real change happens when people come together around a shared purpose. Through moments like these, and through the generosity of those who choose to support our work and Madiba’s vision, we are able to continue creating better opportunities for children to thrive.
As we prepare for the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund’s 4th annual Cannes gala gathering, we look forward to reconnecting with partners and friends who continue to believe in the power of collective action.
Thirty years on, the call to place children at the centre of society remains just as important.

A meaningful close to our Implementing Partners Learning Indaba.
The session reflected on the transition journey and unpacked the new strategy, Khuluma Mntwana Sikuzwe, through engaging dialogue.
The Indaba ended with a powerful “Letter to the Future” exercise, where participants reflected on the impact they hope to create over the next five years, followed by a closing ceremony and certificates of participation.
A fitting close grounded in reflection, hope, and a shared commitment to strengthening impact for children.

#CommunityImpact
Powerful conversations and honest reflections shaped today’s thematic deep-dive sessions at the Implementing Partners Session.
Implementing partners engaged in critical discussions on:
• Violence Against Children & GBV
• Youth Participation, Advocacy & Leadership
• Livelihoods, Entrepreneurship & Economic Resilience
• Child Survival, Early Childhood Development & Thriving
The group sessions created space to unpack evidence, share lessons, explore sustainable solutions, and reflect honestly on the challenges experienced throughout the journey. From funding gaps and advocacy strategies to strengthening monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning capacity.
A reminder that meaningful impact is built not only through successes, but also through shared learning and collaboration.
