This Human Rights Day, SA marks 30yrs of the Bill of Rights under the theme: “Making Human Dignity Real.” Rooted in the legacy of the Sharpeville Massacre, it reminds us that these rights were hard won. As we also mark 30yrs of NMCF, we recommit to advancing them for every child.

Here’s a look back at a memorable evening ✨ As part of our ongoing 30th anniversary celebrations, the Gala brought together our partners, supporters, and friends to reflect on the journey and the people behind it. Thank you to everyone who continues to be part of this journey💛

☀️ 🗣️ "Together as a nation, we have the obligation to put sunshine into the hearts of our little ones." Mandela said that in 1995. The Children's Hospital is one of the most tangible results. Children are receiving life-saving care, every day. #NMCF30Years #ServeLikeMadiba

Former President Mbeki at the 30th Anniversary Gala: 🗣️ "The world is engaged in a systematic failure to protect its youngest citizens." Not a celebration. A challenge. And a call to act. #NMCF30Years #ServeLikeMadiba

30 years ago, Mandela launched @NMChildrensFund with these words: 🗣️ "There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children." On 12 March, we gathered to mark three decades of that mission. #NMCF30Years #ServeLikeMadiba
