💬 "As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest."
20 years on from Nelson Mandela's iconic Make Poverty History speech in London, our friends @ Students for Global Health were busy inspiring a new generation!

On Wednesday, Ollie attended ONE’s conference, marking 20 years since Mandela’s “Make Poverty History” speech.
✨Key takeaways:
Impact is woven into other others’ lives, not monuments
“Cultivate seeds of change” 🌱

Honoured to speak at the #Mandela20 event in London to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s legacy, including as @gavi.org’s inaugural Board Chair. Mandela taught us to fight injustice and that lesson prevails in Gavi’s mission to fight inequity and ensure children in lower-income access life-saving vaccines.
Si bien se han logrado avances significativos en los últimos 20 años, aún queda mucho por lograr mientras millones de personas viven en la pobreza. En IDS, seguiremos trabajando con nuestros socios para lograr un mundo más equitativo y sostenible.

Today, IDS attended the Mandela+20 event where Serah Makka, Africa Executive Director at ONE said, “Let us be gardeners of change, let's plant the seeds that will grow and bring change in future. History will not ask us what we changed, but it'll judge us on what we dared to change.”

20 years ago, Nelson Mandela inspired a generation to strive for greatness and build a better world. His message resonates today more powerfully than ever.
A poignant moment to reflect on his rallying call at Trafalgar Square.

Today is 20 years since Nelson Mandela’s speech in Trafalgar Square and his challenge to #MakePovertyHistory - “not as an act of charity but as an act of justice.”
We’ve been at events marking the anniversary and reflecting on how we're responding to the call to leave no-one behind.

Gordon Brown reminding us what real labour leadership looked like #Mandela20
At #Mandela20 event for @justmoneymvt.bsky.social recalling Nelson Mandela urging us to Make Poverty History in Trafalgar Sq 20 yrs ago and his words: “As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist, none of us can truly rest.”
“I've pledged to be part of a great generation that will end extreme poverty.” My only hesitation being: hasn’t my generation already dropped the ball?! #Mandela20 act.one.org/cms/thanks/l...
Dr Arumna Oteh,Chair of the Royal African Society, reminds us at the #Mandela20 High Level Event that despite progress towards making poverty history, 800 million people still go to bed hungry every day and urges us all in the spirit of Madiba, to do more.
A very timely reminder #Mandela20
