About Nelson Mandela International Day

On July 18, 1918, Nelson Mandela was born in the small village of Mvezo, on the banks of the Mbashe River in South Africa's Eastern Cape — a beginning as quiet as the countryside, and as consequential as any in the twentieth century. Decades of struggle, sacrifice, and an unshakeable belief in human dignity would follow, and the world took note. In 2009, the United Nations officially declared July 18 Nelson Mandela International Day, inviting people everywhere to give 67 minutes of service to their communities — one minute for each year Mandela devoted to public life.
