The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund is a South African nonprofit focused on reshaping how society treats children and youth. It pursues a rights-based approach to empower African children by giving them voice and dignity and by addressing hunger, abuse, exploitation, homelessness, and the structural drivers of poverty through holistic, community-oriented programming that treats children as part of families and communities. The organization promotes the active participation of children and communities in decisions affecting their lives and strives for measurable, rights-informed outcomes.

Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, the fund operates within South Africa's nonprofit sector, working with government agencies, private partners, and communities to advance children's rights and well-being. Its programs span nutrition, protection, education, and safety, guided by a commitment to participatory decision-making and service delivery grounded in constitutional rights. A notable recent development is a partnership with Ford South Africa to supply a fleet of 19 vehicles to support field activities.
