Our Mission
For more than 10 years, the Mandela Legacy Foundation’s mission has been to develop solutions and partnerships that can improve the lives of South Africans.
We partner with individual businesses, government agencies, local and international donors, industry sector associations, technology providers and tertiary institutions who are equally committed to creating positive change.
“It always seems impossible until it’s done”
— Nelson Mandela
Today, we pursue this mission by:
advancing projects that expand opportunities for more broadly-shared prosperity, and
sponsoring programs that help empower people and communities to take control of their physical and financial wellbeing.
To achieve these goals, and to address the root causes of emerging challenges, the Mandela Legacy has concentrated on four key initiatives to create systemic change:
improving access to education,
creating employment,
advancing women’s rights, and
progressing economic and political equality.
Together with partners and associates, we strive to catalyse and scale transformative innovations, create unlikely partnerships that span sectors, and take risks others cannot - or will not - take.
