Give 67 Minutes of Hope This Mandela Day – Join Montagu Cares! Mandela Day, celebrated every year on 18 July, is a global call to action for people to honour the legacy of Nelson Mandela by making a difference in their communities. “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others.” – Nelson Mandela

This year, Montagu Cares invites you to be part of something truly meaningful by giving just 67 minutes of your time to uplift the beautiful town of Montagu. Whether you’re cleaning up, painting a wall, planting a garden, helping the elderly, or lending your skills in any way—your contribution matters.

Mandela believed that each individual has the power to transform the world, and we believe the heart of Montagu beats strongest when we come together.

"A fundamental concern for others in our individual and community lives would go a long way in making the world a better place we so passionately dreamt of." Nelson Mandela
