While the majority of South African students — black and white — now attend primary school, vast income inequality, as well as untrained teachers and improper facilities, has prevented rural students from making up the racial achievement gap that emerged during apartheid. The Institute for Rural Development and Education, located in the rural Eastern Cape region of the country, has as its mission the promotion of a more sustainable future for younger generations and for the planet.
And throughout his life, Mandela lived by those words as a steadfast champion for the rights of children. During his tenure as president Mandela donated a third of his salary to create the organization, which he charged with ending extreme poverty and its symptoms, such as hunger, exploitation, and homelessness. When he won the Nobel Peace Prize in , Mandela donated part of his prize money to support street children and other kids in need. Mandela so valued the power of science and research that he lent his name to three institutes of technology in Nigeria, Tanzania, and Burkina Faso.
Another institute in South Africa also bears his name. But that changed when Mandela was elected president. Mandela also worked to ensure that all South Africans could have access to clean water — a mission that continues today. In that interview, he went on to express that the fight to achieve voting rights for black South Africans should be independent of education levels or race.
He also helped broker peace in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi. Crowds gather to support Mandela — A member of Mandela's family is swamped by the media on June 27 while collecting flowers from well-wishers.
