Nelson Mandela International Day – July 18 2025
Nelson Mandela International Day is celebrated every year on July 18, which marks Nelson Mandela’s birthday. He was a brave leader from South Africa who fought against the unfair treatment of people because of their skin colour. He later became the President of South Africa.
The United Nations designated this day as official in 2009 to remind everyone of Mandela’s values—peace, equality, and justice. It’s a day to honour his life and to encourage people all over the world to help others and make the world a better place.
📍 In India, this day is celebrated with a lot of respect and excitement. Many schools, colleges, and organisations hold special activities like:
- Talks and seminars
- Art shows and exhibitions
- Cultural programmes
- Social service events to help the community
India has a strong friendship with South Africa, and many people in India see Nelson Mandela as a hero. Young people especially look up to him and learn from the way he stood up for freedom and justice. His actions still inspire many to do good and create a fairer society.
