67 Minutes of Impact: Klipboard SA Marks Mandela Day with Purpose

On 18 July each year, people around the world celebrate Mandela Day – a global call to action that honours the life and legacy of Nelson Mandela.

The initiative encourages individuals and organisations to spend 67 minutes giving back – one minute for each year that Mandela devoted to public service, human rights, and fighting injustice. The idea is simple but powerful: everyone has the ability to make a difference, and every act of kindness counts.

This year, the South African teams at Klipboard embraced this spirit with hands-on contributions across three regions – Stellenbosch, Johannesburg, and Durban – supporting local non-profits that provide vital care to vulnerable people and animals.

Supporting Communities in Stellenbosch

In Stellenbosch, employees visited two care organisations:

• Gabriella Centre, which provides residential care for individuals with profound intellectual and physical disabilities.
• Little Angels Home, a long-term care home supporting children and young adults with severe special needs.

The Klipboard team delivered care packages and essential supplies, and spent time engaging with both residents and staff.

Showing Up for Inclusion in Johannesburg

In Johannesburg, team members supported Forest Farm, a residential facility for adults with intellectual disabilities. Donations of toiletries, household supplies, and daily essentials helped ease the workload for caregivers and uplifted the residents’ living environment.

Giving Care in Durban – to People and Pets

The Durban office chose to support two causes:

• Phoenix Care Foundation, which provides shelter, healthcare, and support to vulnerable women and children.
• Phoenix Animal Care, a community-run organisation focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need.

The team prepared and delivered supplies tailored to each organisation's immediate needs – including food, clothing, cleaning items, and more.

A Global Value in Action

While Mandela Day began in South Africa, its message resonates across borders. Klipboard’s participation reflects one of the company’s core employee values – We Care – which empowers teams to lead with empathy, contribute to meaningful causes, and support their local communities in practical, lasting ways.

Across all regions, Klipboard encourages teams to give back – whether through volunteering, charity partnerships, or day-to-day kindness. Mandela Day served as a reminder that big change often starts with small, deliberate acts.
