South African Airways are proud to support Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.

Driven by his love for children and a desire to end their suffering, former President Mandela established the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund (NMCF) in 1995 to change the way society treats its children and youth. It was one of the first actions he took on becoming President of the newly democratic South Africa and for 5 years he committed one third of his Presidential salary to ensure the continuation of the Fund.

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund identifies community partners in South Africa to support and train them as they work to protect, nurture and enrich the lives of children in their community.

 

Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Partners are working:

·         to get disabled children into school,

·         to identify and protect children who are vulnerable having lost parents to the HIV/Aids pandemic,

·         to help the most vulnerable children who are refugees, or displaced from their families as a result of poverty and family breakdown

·         to help young people to develop skills for work and the confidence to actively contribute to the future of their community and country.

This work takes place across all nine provinces of South Africa, and links into national and provincial government initiatives to ensure maximum impact for communities.
