Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital

Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital A state-of-the-art paediatric academic and tertiary referral hospital. It will be Nelson Mandela’s living legacy.
(2)

Nelson Mandela, the world’s greatest statesman, has a dream to build a 200-bed children’s hospital in Johannesburg that will serve children across Southern Africa. It will address a great need as there are only four hospitals in Africa to serve nearly 450 million children. Millions of these children suffer from life-threatening illnesses and have little or no chance of receiving the specialised care they need. The Nelson Mandela Children's Hospital will ensure that no child will be turned away due to an inability to pay. This world-class facility is being built with the support of donors from across the globe, in honour of Mr. Mandela, and R1bn is needed to make it a reality. Every citizen and organisation in the world is being called upon to assist. You can make Nelson Mandela’s dream come true by SMSing the word GIFT to 40301 (T & Cs apply, SMS cost R20). For individuals outside South Africa, and organisations wanting to get involved, please visit www.nelsonmandelachildrenshospital.org for more details. Tell your friends, share this page, and help us spread the word!! The Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital will be built on a site donated by the University of the Witwatersrand near the Charlotte Maxeke Hospital and Wits Medical School in Parktown, Johannesburg.

From uncertainty to joy — Kamothelo’s smile says it all.

After being born with a bilateral cleft lip and palate, Kamohelo underwent life-changing surgery in 2024 through Operation Smile South Africa at Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital. Since then, his feeding, daily care, and confidence have improved beautifully.

This is what compassionate partnerships and early intervention can do.

💛 Watch his journey from struggle to smiles.
