Every year on July 18th, we observe Nelson Mandela International Day to honor his enduring legacy of promoting peace, equality, and human rights worldwide. This year’s theme, “It is still in our hands to combat Poverty and Inequality,” underscores the ongoing effort to address socioeconomic disparities and inspires everyone to take meaningful action.
To celebrate Nelson Mandela Day, we are thrilled to spotlight various grant opportunities announced by generous donors, all aimed at combating poverty and inequality. These grants are designed to support innovative projects and organizations committed to building a more equitable and just society. Join us in honoring Nelson Mandela’s legacy by seizing these opportunities to make a significant impact in the fight against poverty and inequality.
