JOIN Francois Pienaar and his Circle of Friends to develop bright new talent

MAD is a Cape Town-based charity organization with its main focus on providing educational opportunities for talented less fortunate children. The Foundation was born out of a dream that Francois Pienaar and his friends had of making a difference in the lives of young South Africans.

 MAD was formed in July 2003. MAD stands for – “Make A Difference”. The whole idea around MAD is to join a circle of friends who share the same passion to make a difference in the lives of South African youth, to get together and interact on a regular basis.

There are so many worthy causes, especially in South Africa and how does one justify one ahead of the other? This is indeed impossible; MAD firmly believes that education is the key.
