By enabling sustainable projects and facilities, focusing on key areas such as education, child welfare, primary healthcare, health education and employment skills, the Mad Foundation supports indigenous communities in creating better opportunities and scope for further development.

Every penny raised by the Mad Foundation directly benefits communities in the developing world, with all monies going directly to community projects for the purchase of building materials and equipment. All our running costs are absorbed by a small number of key partners and by our trustees.

To date the Mad Foundation has helped build and renovate over 20 schools and pre-schools, built orphanages, clinics, workshops, water and sanitation systems, provided scholarships throughout Africa, South America, and South East Asia, life-changing projects which are not or can not be funded by government.

The building of three classrooms at deprived and over-crowded school

Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world and whilst its government, since 2002, has made it possible for nearly every child to receive a free primary school education by putting a teacher into every classroom, it is the responsibility of the communities to find the funds to build and maintain school buildings. Free education and a growing population means that more children than ever go to school, only to be squeezed into overcrowded classrooms. <<More Info>>
