The Nelson Mandela Foundation was established in 1999 as the primary vehicle for Mr. Mandela's continued pursuit of the ideals and goals he set while serving as South Africa's first democratically elected leader from 1994 to 1999. The immediate goal of the foundation is to identify and work in programming areas where Mr. Mandela can provide leadership and initiative. The foundation attends to the groundwork necessary to sustain the programs and to ensure that Mr. Mandela's ideals thrive long after he has retired from public life.
