A Celebration of Mr. Mandela

“Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world.”

- Creating a managed fund to provide security and operational costs of the programme.
Together, we’re helping shape children’s futures by facilitating access to education to reduce poverty.
We’re offering you the chance to get involved.
Over The Course of
10 Years, We Will:
- Expand the Digital Library to North African and Eastern European underprivileged communities.
