The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund was founded by Nelson Mandela soon after South Africa's truly democratic election in 1994. It was his personal response to the misery and hopelessness that poverty had inflicted on South Africa's children, the most innocent part of any society.
The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund supports organisations implementing programmes and projects that empower children and youth from impoverished backgrounds to improve the quality of their lives. The Fund places emphasis on creative, innovative and participatory initiatives that have the potential to change the ways in which society responds to children and youth.
Mr Mandela’s integrity and love for children can be seen throughout NMCF and its commitment to the welfare of society’s most vulnerable citizens, its children. The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund strives to change the way in which society treats its children and youth.
The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund programmes of work include: disability, wellbeing of the child, skills development, leadership & excellence, and HIV/AIDS.
