Celebrating the Life of a Global Hero
Every year on July 18, people across the world observe Nelson Mandela International Day. This day honours the life and work of Nelson Mandela. He was a strong and respected leader who worked hard to bring peace, justice, and equal rights to South Africa and beyond.
Mandela spent 27 years in prison for standing against apartheid. Apartheid was a policy that kept people apart based on race and treated many unfairly in South Africa. After Mandela was freed in 1990, he guided calm and peaceful discussions to bring this unjust system to an end.
In 2009, the United Nations officially marked July 18 as Nelson Mandela International Day. It is also Mandela’s birthday. The aim of this day is to inspire people to take action. It encourages everyone to help others and make the world a better place.

On this day, people around the world are asked to give 67 minutes of service. The 67 minutes represent the 67 years Mandela spent fighting for human rights.
People use this time to do good deeds. Many people choose to support the needy or care for the unwell . Others clean their neighbourhood or teach children. Small acts of kindness can create big change.
