Mandela Day | 18 July 2026

"It is in your hands to create a better world for all who live in it." – Nelson Mandela

Today, we honour Madiba's legacy by remembering that every child deserves to grow up safe, heard, protected, and empowered.

At the South African National Child Rights Coalition (SANCRC), we believe that meaningful change begins with everyday acts of service, advocacy, and accountability. Whether you volunteer your time, mentor a young person, support a family, or speak up for children's rights, your actions matter.

This Mandela Day, let us move beyond 67 minutes and commit ourselves to building communities where every child's rights are respected, protected, and fulfilled.

Together, we can create a South Africa where every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Every Child's Voice Matters.

Meaningful child participation is more than listening to children, it is creating opportunities for them to contribute to decisions that affect their lives, families, schools, and communities.

When children are heard, respected, and included, we build stronger communities and better outcomes for everyone.

At SANCRC, we remain committed to advocating for the rights of every child and promoting spaces where children's voices can shape a more inclusive future.

πŸ’œ Together, let's continue to champion children's rights and meaningful participation.

Putting Children First Must Never Be Optional.

The South African National Child Rights Coalition (SANCRC) has issued an open letter calling for a child-friendly and human rights-based repatriation process for undocumented migrants.

The letter highlights the urgent need to protect children and pregnant women during enforcement operations by prioritising family unity, safety, healthcare, psychosocial support, and meaningful community engagement.

Every child deserves dignity, protection, and a future regardless of their circumstances. We call on all stakeholders to ensure that the best interests of the child remain at the centre of every decision.
