The Nelson Mandela Foundation contributes to the making of a just society by promoting the vision and work of its Founder and convening dialogue around critical social issues.

Welcome to the Nelson Mandela Foundation's first online annual report. We're excited to present a successful financial year in this new and innovative way, which we hope will allow you as the reader to browse through its contents with greater ease. The Nelson Mandela Foundation was established in 1999 when its founder, Nelson Mandela, stepped down as the president of South Africa. It aims to help build a society that remembers its past, listens to all its voices, and pursues social justice. The Nelson Mandela Foundation was established in 1999 when Nelson Mandela, stepped down as the president of South Africa. Today the Foundation focuses on dialogue work, preserving the memory and legacy of its founder, and developing its rich archive platform. The core work of the Nelson Mandela Foundation’s research and archive function is to generate an integrated and dynamic information resource on the life and times of Nelson Mandela, and to undertake the research and analysis required to support all Nelson Mandela Foundation functions. Unlike most conventional archives, the Foundation is not defined by the custody of physical collections (although it has substantial and growing collections). The Mandela Archive is infinite, fragmented and scattered, both geographically and institutionally. It is neither the intention of the Foundation, nor its mandate, to bring all these materials into a single physical collection. The Foundation constitutes a one-stop shop for all such enquiries, whatever their origin. In addition to routine research on the life and times of Mr Mandela, the Foundation undertakes both continuing robust scoping of the broader social environments in which the organisation operates and a range of special research projects. Dialogue is fundamental to the legacy of Mr Mandela and to South Africa’s transition from apartheid to democracy. The Nelson Mandela Foundation seeks to contribute to a just society by promoting the vision and work of its Founder and convening dialogue around critical social issues. Therefore, the Foundation intends bringing about meaningful conversations among all relevant stakeholders. Dialogue is at once a vital instrument for addressing critical social issues and the most effective vehicle for sharing memory, for growing it, and for engaging it in the promotion of justice and social cohesion. The objective of the Dialogue for Justice programme is to create relevant platforms and find sustainable solutions to critical social issues. Nelson Mandela followed three rules throughout his life, which he did at great personal sacrifice: Free yourself. It was not just his mantra; it was his way of life. The call to action is clear: Take action, inspire change and make every day a Mandela Day. Mandela Day will continue to become an even more vital means of honouring and activating his legacy. The Mandela Day campaign was inaugurated as a vehicle to achieve this. Its objective is to inspire individuals to take action to help change the world for the better, and in doing so, to build a global movement for good. This information will only be used for communication between the Nelson Mandela Foundation and yourself.
