Organised by the Global Poverty Project, Global Citizen Festival is an annual festival with a mission to end extreme poverty. This year’s event will be held on Sunday in Johannesburg, South Africa, in honour of Nelson Mandela who would have turned 100 this year.

Global Citizen celebrates his life and legacy, and aspires to inspire a new generation of Global Citizens to carry on the work of Mandela. GC have been hosting a six-month long campaign engaging Global Citizens around the world on the six UN Global Goals: ending poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, and clean water and sanitation. And it all culminates with a massive festival this weekend.
