Nelson Mandela Children's Fund
The Nelson Mandela Children's Fund (NMCF) is a charitable organisation founded by Nelson Mandela, based in South Africa. Its mission is to help individuals from birth to age 22,〔(Mandela focuses on Aids orphans – SouthAfrica.info )〕 particularly orphans of the AIDS crisis.
==History==
In 1995, Mandela stopped to talk to street children in Cape Town, and was inspired to found organisation. He remarked:
"We were driving back to the Presidency in Cape Town one cold winter's evening, when I saw a group of street children and stopped to talk to them."
"The children asked me why I love them. This astounded me, and I asked them why they asked this, and they said that because every time I get money from overseas, I share it with them."〔
Upon founding the organisation, he pledged to donate one third of his salary to the fund, and began fundraising.〔
Although the organisation continues to assist young homeless people and those living in poverty, the fund now focuses on the underprivileged, orphans of the AIDS crisis, those affected by HIV and AIDS,〔(Nelson Mandela Children's Fund )〕 and "child-headed households" in South Africa.〔
