Anchored in the belief that healthy children are happier, more alert and will have a better chance of being successful adults, we established our nutrition programme. Today, we evaluate 2 300 children in the community to find those who are malnourished. These are enrolled in our programme and each child receives a meal daily. www.lovetogive.org.za Make a Difference MAD CHARITY™ strives to give academically talented but econom- ically disadvantaged youth in South Africa an opportunity to reach their full potential as leaders and role models, by providing excep- tional educational and related opportunities.
