Together with the Board Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson, we had the privilege of engaging with Justice Dikgang Moseneke, a founding Trustee of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
Justice Moseneke served the Fund for 15 years, first as Deputy Chairperson to President Nelson Mandela and later as Chairperson. His leadership and legal insight helped shape the Fund’s governance and its commitment to advancing children’s rights.
The engagement created an opportunity to both draw on his perspective and share updates on the Fund’s current work, governance, and strategic direction as we mark 30 years of impact.
We remain grateful for the continued guidance of leaders who have helped build and sustain the institution over time.

On World Autism Awareness Day, we highlight the Girl Power Project’s partnership with Autism South Africa through the “Be a Buddy, Not a Bully” programme. The initiative equips teachers, therapists, and school staff to create safer, more inclusive environments for children on the autism spectrum.
Through creative tools like Bully Bingo, children are encouraged to understand bullying and learn how to support, rather than exclude, their autistic peers.
As we mark 30 years of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, this work reflects a simple principle: every child has value, and every child deserves to feel safe, included, and heard.

Every child deserves to be seen, understood, and supported. And in ways that recognise who they are 💙
On World Autism Awareness Day, under the theme “Autism and Humanity: Every Life Has Value,” we are reminded that inclusion requires intentional action: in classrooms, in communities, and in how we design systems that support children.
For children on the spectrum, this means access, acceptance, and environments that enable them to thrive on their own terms. As we mark 30 years of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund, we continue to advocate for a society that does not just include, but truly values every child.
