Make A Difference

Make A Difference helps empower orphaned children and youth. We do this by providing programs and services that focus on education, health, job skill training and income generating activities at orphanages and community schools.

VISION

We are striving to build a global community and help eliminate poverty by investing in children.

- We believe that by investing in children through education, health, job skill training and income generating activities we can break the cycle of poverty and sickness that is present in the world today creating a better tomorrow.

- We believe in operating an organization that is fiscally responsible and continually shows where money is donated.

 Founder of Make A Difference, Theresa Grant traveled over to Africa in 2005 to help make a difference in the lives of orphaned children and hasn't stopped. She sold everything she had in the Silicon Valley and made a life change to help children long-term.

Grant had dreams of helping save children for over a month each night. The dreams never went away and that is when she knew she had a calling. 

She believes investing in children is one of the best investments one can make. She states,"Children are our leaders of tomorrow. They are also the ones who can put a stop to the sickness and death in Africa caused by AIDS, TB and Malaria." 

Make A Difference (MAD) solely focuses on children and youth to make a difference long-term through:

- Education

- Health

- Job Skill Training 

- Income Generators

Grant believes that when children have education, medical care, job skill training and income generators they learn to become self-sufficient. They are able to care for themselves and care for others. 

"We are seeing this methodology work on a regular basis," states Grant. She continues, "We can't change the past, but we can change the future."
