The Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament is a platform created to provide children with the invaluable opportunity to express their views in alignment with the protections outlined in the the Children’s Act, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child.
The Nelson Mandela Children’s Parliament (NMCP) initiative was established to celebrate the values, principles and commitment of Mr Nelson Mandela to the children of South Africa, by giving children meaningful opportunities to participate, direct and influence decisions made on their behalf or in their best interest.
As one of the only dedicated paediatric facilities in southern Africa, the Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Hospital offers critical care services including renal, general paediatric surgery, neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, ear nose and throat (ENT), neonatal and paediatric ICUs, radiology, anaesthesia and allied health services.

We are saddened by the passing of Mr Tito Mboweni, a cherished former Trustee and Chair of our Fundraising Committee at the Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund.
Mr Mboweni wasn’t just an exceptional leader in politics and business; he was a true supporter of our mission, with a special love for our flagship project, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital.
His humour, leadership, and dedication will be deeply missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all who knew and loved him. Mr Mboweni’s legacy will forever live on in the work we do.

THE POWER OF PARTNERSHIPS 🌍🤝
We are proud to celebrate the success of the Africa Children Summit South Africa Pre-Engagement Summit we held last weekend!

This summit empowered young leaders, helping them realise their potential to shape the policies and decisions that impact their lives. Your generosity has laid the foundation for long-lasting change, and we couldn’t have done it without you.
Thank you for making a difference, standing with Africa’s children, and helping them take the first step toward a brighter tomorrow. 🌟
