Who We Are

MADI is a charitable organization based in the North Western suburbs of Minneapolis, Minnesota. The organization was founded in 2010 by Mr. Funwi Tita.

Mr. Tita migrated to the United States form Cameroon and is now a citizen of the United states residing in Minnesota with his family. Funwi and his wife Jennet Tita are blessed with four children. Funwi grew up very poor in Africa. When he was young, a charity called Hiefer International came to his village in the African country of Cameroon and donated a cow for his family. His parents were able to start a dairy farm, which provided money for the family. Funwi was able to go to school, eventually attending college at St. Mary’s University in Minnesota and living in Minnesota.

Funwi has worked for the government, and private sectors and his work with a non-profit organization gave him the foundation to start a non-profit organization. Funwi was touched by the misery he saw while visiting and working in the country of Uganda. More so, he was reminded by his own up-bring and was convicted to do something. Funwi puts his mission to help the poor in Africa as “changing my childhood and family life that still lives in the on in many families in Africa.”

MADI has collected, packed and shipped thousands basic needs materials to children in the extremely poor country of Uganda Africa. Uganda, which is located on the east side of Africa, is one of the world’s poorest countries due to economic instability and political unrest.

MADI has distributed donated clothing and toiletries, along with donated shoes, to poor children and their families in Uganda. The organization further provides assistance to start small businesses to very poor families in Uganda. MADI has provided support rural clinics with medical supplies and learning materials to local community schools in Uganda.

The ultimate goal of MADI is to help alleviate poverty in Africa beginning with Uganda ― as a place to start.

MADI volunteers personally oversee the delivery of donations to Uganda. MADI has a group of full time volunteers that over see all activities.

MADI has a board of local business and civic leaders. The group currently has a list of about 25 to 30 volunteers.

MADI hopes to continue its work of reaching out to the poor  in other parts of Africa and the world.
