Staying at home during the Covid-19 pandemic can so easily feel like doing nothing, but playing by the rules and not leaving the house during the national lockdown is taking an active part in the battle. Play your part and be a responsible citizen.

The Covid-19 pandemic and the national lockdown has created and exacerbated food insecurity for many families in South Africa. #Each1Feed1 is our response, in partnership with the Imbumba Foundation and the Kolisi Foundation.??

We’re calling on South Africans to show solidarity and donate to a food distribution network.

The Nelson Mandela Foundation has made its vast archive of the works and writings of the late Nelson Mandela available online. It?spans the life and times of Madiba, the struggle against Apartheid and the ushering in of the democratic era.?

In these days of Covid-19 our early childhood development (ECD) focus area is more important than ever before. ECD?has been identified as critical to breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty that plagues South African society and poverty has been exacerbated by the pandemic. It was through the work of the Mandela Initiative, a multiyear think-tank initiative on poverty and inequality aimed at investigating key strategies to overcome South Africa’s development challenges, that this connection was made.

Do you have any questions on our response to the Covid-19 pandemic? We are here to answer them. Want to get involved in our Each One, Feed One food distribution drive, but don’t know how??

For more than 10 years, Nelson Mandela International Day has mobilised individuals, governments, civil society and corporate entities to make the world a better place for all.?
