Dance your way through #MandelaMonth!
A major part of our Children's Celebration is children's participation. Due to the current climate, we have had to come up with innovative ways to do this in a fun and inclusive manner.
As such, we have created a #DigitalDanceChallenge to one of our long-time supporters, Media Personality, ProVerb's song 'Legacy'. Our YLP team choreographed the dance.

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital
The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital (NMCH) is a dedicated paediatric facility serving the children of Southern Africa. What this hospital does is centered on giving children the one thing they need the most: the ability to just be children.
At a time when the global community is devastated by COVID-19, NMCH has had to adapt and subsequently make provisions to deal with potential cases and continue providing critical care to our patients. This has been made possible, thanks to our community who continue to support our hospital in a meaningful way, leaving a lasting impact.

What Mandela Day Means
Making a Meaningful Contribution to Madiba’s Legacy
Nelson Mandela Day was launched in recognition of Nelson Mandela’s birthday on 18 July,2009, via unanimous decision of the United Nations General Assembly.
It was inspired by a call Nelson R. Mandela made a year earlier, for next generations to take on the burden of leadership in addressing the world’s social injustices and he said that
“It is in your hands now”.
It is more than a celebration of Madiba’s life and legacy. It is a global movement to honourhis life’s work and act to change the world for the better.

As the Fund we encourage individuals to find initiatives within their various communities to do their 67 Minutes of service.
Mandela Day is as much an energiser to the Children’s Fund. The joy of being allowed to be children, to play, sing, dance, dream and be lost in the wonder of the innocence of childhood that should be delivered from homelessness, poverty, hunger, harm, danger, vulnerability, neglect and diseases.
Any assistance given and received by the Fund or its partners counts to make everyone who shares the vision of the Fund a fellow traveler and commits to the belief that Every Child Counts.
