Nelson Mandela international day - Take Action!

  Nelson Mandela International day calls on everyone to do their bit to brighten up the lives of those in dire straights. It is a call to make the world a better place and spread a message of hope, unity and positivity. This year we celebrate 100 years since the birth of Nelson Mandela, the centenary seeing a push in getting the campaign out there, predominately under the hashtag #ActionAgainstPoverty      

Why is it 67 minutes?

The story of Nelson Mandela is well known and widely documented. It's no secret that his life served as an inspiration and a source of hope for many people around the globe. He spent 67 years fighting for the freedom of South Africans, thus the call to devote 67 minutes of your time - one minute for every year of Nelson Mandela's great struggle - to do something to make the world a better place, no matter how small that deed is.
