About the initiative
It is easy to break down and destroy. The heroes are those who make peace and build.
— Nelson Mandela
On 18 July every year, we invite you to mark Nelson Mandela International Day by making a difference in your communities. Everyone has the ability and the responsibility to change the world for the better! Mandela Day is an occasion for all to take action and inspire change.
