Nelson Mandela spent 67 years of his life serving his community, the country and the world at large in the struggle for peace and equality. So this day is a call to action for people everywhere to take responsibility for making the world a better place, one small step at a time, just as Madiba did.
To celebrate his life and the values he embraces, International Mandela Day was launched in 2009. It encourages people to do something good, no matter how big or small for 67 minutes on this day.
Millions of people worldwide supported their local charities, donated food and clothes to disadvantaged communities or offered their services at hospitals, children’s homes and old age homes.
