Nelson Mandela is well known at an international level for his humanitarian efforts and contributions to society. Tributes to his work are found in most areas of South Africa and are a typical aspect of any visitor’s experience to the country. The boutique hotels South Africa often contain reminders of this great man and his dedication to the equality of humans and many contributions he made. Mandela was an extremely controversial figure throughout much of his career due to the great social change aspect and intention of his work. He suffered many oppressive circumstances and personal defaming attempts, though his legacy will remember him as one of the world’s great humanitarians.

There are numerous foundations, projects and monuments that celebrate his global inspirational endeavors and achievements. The Nelson Mandela Foundation is just one of these, and it was established on the basis of his main communication perspective related to honoring different ethnicities, cultures and religions. It began in 1999 and is committed to continuing the efforts and intentions of Mandela. It incorporates various technological resources to develop projects promoting equality and freedom of speech and self-expression.

The Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund is another agency, which lies close to the heart of his interests and efforts. The charitable organization was established in 1995 and incorporates an holistic approach to addressing the needs of children who suffer various issues such as the dislocation of refugees and the health needs of children with AIDS. It also offers resources and services to orphans and homeless children. The Fund also contributes to the creation and sustaining of other major institutions and built the Nelson Mandela Children’s Hospital, which is located in the Gauteng province and first opened in 2007. It is one of four hospitals on the African continent that is entirely devoted to the needs of children.
