When is Mandela Day?

Every year on July 18 (his birthday), the world observes Mandela Day as a way to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s life and legacy.

Mandela Day is a call to action for people, groups, and institutions to consider the ideals and values of Nelson Mandela while also improving their own local communities.

Therefore, the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the United Nations ask that you give people 67 minutes of your time in honor of his 67 years of public service. He died at the age of 95 after a prolonged respiratory infection.
