You can nominate anyone you know… who you feel might need a little hope this Mandela Day, and we will try to make sure that we give it to them. This is #DriveHope!

 

South Africa (18 July 2020) – In 2020, the essence of Mandela Day – take action, inspire change, and make every day a Mandela Day – is more important than ever before.

Communities across the world are affected by the spread of COVID-19, which has hit every economy, causing new social and economic challenges and exacerbating old ones. But, there is hope. On a scale never seen before, individuals and groups are finding ways to help those in need of support.

Together we are driving hope!

Mandela Day is celebrated on the 18th of July every year. In 2020, it will be the day we share the successes we have achieved and the lessons we have learned as we battle this pandemic and its effect on those less fortunate than ourselves. It is in trying times like these that we bank on human kindness to improve the realities of the most vulnerable amongst us. We know that many South Africans feel like they’re facing life on their own at the moment, but you can change that and help us spread some hope to someone who you know needs it.

Through acts of goodwill, the Liberty “Drive Hope Squad” will be spreading hope to 67 people from all walks of life, and all you need to do is nominate them!

“Drive Hope is an initiative showcasing Liberty’s dedication to South Africa and helping South Africans – individuals, communities, and the country – experience freedom throughout the entire brand experience.

We are committing to help at least 67 people for Mandela Day: but we hope to help even more.”

You can nominate anyone you know… who you feel might need a little hope this Mandela Day, and we will try to make sure that we give it to them! But remember that they are committing to help at least 67 people for Mandela Day, so get nominating!
