UN Mandela Day

The International Nelson Mandela day markspost-apartheid South Africa’s first democratically elected president's birthday.

Since 2009, following the success of Mandela's 90th birthday celebrations in London's Hyde Park in June 2008, people all over the world have been asked to celebrate his birthday in a way that will help others.

The International Nelson Mandela Day calls for 67 minutes of their time to charities or community serviceas a tribute to Mandela’s 67 year long fight for the rights of humanity. This call to action by individuals aims to change the world one step at a time.
