MADF

Make a Difference Foundation (MADF) aims to help and empower marginalised and underserved communities. They promote social responsibility amongst the students at IMT Ghaziabad, encouraging them to leverage their skills, knowledge, and resources to drive positive change in society. They aim to inspire altruistic behaviour that extends beyond the college years by fostering empathy, innovation, and collaboration.

The members of MADF are motivated by the sense of satisfaction derived from enriching the lives of others. They support local communities by collaborating with NGOs and government bodies while they intend to drive sustainable change through innovation, engagement, and education.

Some initiatives by MADF include:
SAHYOG: Cloth Donation Drive: This initiative collects preloved clothes and distributes them to the underprivileged. With over 600 clothes donated, the drive has significantly impacted by providing warmth and dignity to many.

SANJEEVANI: Blood Donation Drive: In collaboration with AIIMS Delhi, this drive has successfully engaged over 140 donors. It aims to address the critical need for blood in hospitals, potentially saving numerous lives.

JOY OF GIVING: Event for Special Kids: This event invites special needs children to the IMT Ghaziabad campus for a day filled with fun activities. With over 50 kids impacted, the program aims to bring joy and happiness to these children, offering them a memorable experience.

DIWALI DILON KI: Live Marketplace for NGOs: Organised around the Diwali festival, this initiative creates a platform for NGOs to sell their handicrafts on campus. Connecting these organisations directly with consumers helps generate revenue for local vendors, supporting their livelihood and promoting sustainable development. Over 200 individuals have been impacted through this initiative.

EHSAAS: Engagement with Underprivileged Kids: This initiative involves spending quality time with children from underprivileged backgrounds at local NGOs. Volunteers engage the kids in various activities, helping them learn while having fun and providing emotional support and encouragement.

NEEDZ: On-Campus Utility Store: Managed by and for IMTians, NEEDZ serves as an on-campus utility store that offers essential items. It promotes entrepreneurship and self-sufficiency among students while conveniently catering to their daily needs. The revenue generated by the store goes towards funding various initiatives for the underprivileged carried out by the club.

Each of these initiatives reflects MADF’s commitment to fostering a culture of giving back to society and building social consciousness among students while making a tangible difference in the lives of those less fortunate. MADF seeks to create a vibrant social service club that not only enhances the educational experience of MBA students but also leaves an indelible mark on the communities they serve.
