Still thinking about Friday night in Cannes... From performances by Rene Idowu and Debbie Sledge, to moments spotlighting the work and voices of children, it was a beautiful evening centred around connection, generosity, and shared purpose. Here are a few moments from the night✨

A special night for the children✨ Thank you to everyone who joined us in Cannes & continues to support the work of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund. From the performances to the conversations and all the beautiful moments in between, it was an evening we won’t forget.

Last year at Cannes, we realised change happens when people come together around a shared purpose. Through moments like these & through the generosity of those who support our work & Madiba’s vision, we're able to continue creating better opportunities for children.

We're proud to return to the Cannes Film Festival for our 4th annual gala evening as we continue celebrating 30yrs of impact. What started as a vision rooted in Madiba’s belief in children’s rights has grown into a movement reaching children and communities across SA & Africa.

30 years, one mission: every child safe, seen & supported. At the IP session, reflecting on 5 years of impact, from a Free State poultry enterprise creating jobs to an Eastern Cape GBV programme breaking silence. What worked, and how do we scale it? #NMCF30 #KhulumaMntwanaSikuzwe
