MAD, or Make A Difference, is a youth volunteer network, working with orphans and unprivileged children in India. Made up of mostly youth volunteers, MAD imparts English communication skills to children in orphanages, street shelters and poor homes.
From 2010 on, Make A Difference started using the Cambridge University Press material in its classrooms. The English project takes learners from starter to intermediate level using the Cambridge English for Schools series of textbooks.
Currently, around 1300 Make A Difference volunteers teach close to 5400 children in the Indian cities of Cochin, Mangalore, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Vellore, Bangalore, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Bhopal, Gwalior and Delhi.
