Honoring a legacy of kindness, courage, and change.

Every year on July 18th, people around the world pause to celebrate Mandela Day, a global movement that encourages individuals to make a positive impact in their communities—just as Nelson Mandela did throughout his life. This day marks the birthday of the legendary South African leader who dedicated 67 years of his life to fighting for justice, equality, and freedom.

Why 67 Minutes?

The idea is simple: donate 67 minutes of your time on Mandela Day to do something that helps others. Whether it’s volunteering at a shelter, picking up litter, sharing food with someone in need, or simply lending a hand to a neighbor—every action counts.

These 67 minutes represent the 67 years Madiba devoted to public service—each minute a reflection of his unwavering dedication to humanity.

How You Can Get Involved Today

Here are a few meaningful ways you can spend your 67 minutes:

🌍 Clean up your neighborhood or a local park
🥪 Prepare meals or care packages for those in need
📚 Read to children at a school, library, or orphanage
🛠️ Help repair a community center or elderly person’s home
💬 Have important conversations about kindness, empathy, and social justice

No act is too small. As Madiba once said, “It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.”
