More Information on 46664

Inspired by the vision and leadership of Nelson Mandela, 46664 is a campaign vehicle of the Nelson Mandela charitable organisations. 46664's aim is to raise awareness of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, as well as funds to support the ongoing 46664 campaign and the HIV AIDS projects it directly supports throughout sub-Saharan Africa. 46664's project funds develop and support practical programmes for the prevention, testing, care and support for those infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa.

46664 was the prison number of Nelson Mandela on Robben Island, Cape Town where he was held in captivity for 18 years. He was the 466th prisoner to be incarcerated on the island in 1964. In 2002 Mr Mandela gave his prison number 46664 to Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, who along with fellow artists Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, was instrumental in persuading over 30 of the world's great artists to join Nelson Mandela at an all-star concert in Cape Town in November 2003 in aid of 46664. Through radio and television coverage, the concert delivered the 46664 message to more than 2 billion people in 166 countries, the most widely distributed media event in history.

All the artists that perform at the 46664 concerts are appointed by Nelson Mandela as 46664 ambassadors to help him in his ongoing fight to raise awareness of the global HIV/AIDS pandemic and to help those infected and affected by the pandemic in South Africa.

46664 recently unveiled its 2007/2008 campaign which will build on its past achievements and expand its outreach activities to communities and schools to engage the youth most affected by HIV and AIDS.

The not-for-profit organisation harnesses the universal connecting power of music, sport and entertainment to deliver its messages primarily to children and young adults. The campaign is driven by well recognised figures in these fields thereby capturing the attention of youth world-wide.
