More information
Make A Difference (MAD) was established to develop, promote and support orphanages and schools in Africa and India so that disadvantaged children have a chance at rising above poverty. Our founder, Theresa Grant has been working in Africa since 2005 at orphanages and community schools. She feels that she is following a calling to help children, which has developed into her passion. At the age of 28 she gave up a job and possessions in the Silicon Valley to live on a farm at an orphanage in Zambia. Since then she has expanded her reach. She currently works with local directors in Tanzania, Zambia and India to make sure orphaned children get the chance to go to school, become educated about HIV/AIDS, receive job skill training and learn about income generators to help them succeed in life. Ms. Grant has had over 60 volunteers from around the world help her empower children and women.
