During 2025 Aspen is demonstrating ongoing commitment to Mandela Day by hosting more than 60 activities in some 36 countries and territories.
Stephen Saad, Aspen Group Chief Executive said, “We are deeply mindful of the needs of marginalised communities including those who are impoverished or displaced due to socio-economic conditions such as climate change, war or conflict. This is evident from our 15 consecutive years of participation in Mandela Day, which in itself endorses the sentiment that the heart of Aspen extends much further than improving the health of patients through affordable, effective medicine.”
“Over the past decade and a half, our employees across six continents have continually stepped forward as volunteers of this programme by identifying and partnering with worthy organisations to make a difference in the world. Witnessing them take on the role of our Mandela Day ambassadors has been profoundly moving, and we honour them as they personify our ethos of Healthcare. We Care. through their actions of selfless generosity, solidarity, humility and care.”
Making a difference over 15 years
In 2025 we will reach more than 920 000 beneficiaries. Since launching our Aspen Mandela Day campaign in 2011, this Group-wide flagship socio-economic development initiative has been strongly driven by more than 45 000 employees representing 63 established offices where Aspen has had a business presence.
Caring for those in need
Our Mandela Day programme strives to contribute towards combating poverty and inequity among vulnerable communities and providing relief to abandoned, neglected, orphaned or abused babies, children and women and the elderly. With every 10th person in the world impacted by extreme poverty1, Aspen also engages in initiatives that provide relief to malnourished, hungry and homeless individuals. Activities are hosted for disabled individuals as well as those inflicted with mental wellness challenges; students facing limited academic opportunities; residents at social rehabilitation institutions; healthcare facility patients who need support and equipment; environmental and climate challenges; and inequality, among others.
