Masicorp

Masicorp work with the community of Masiphumelele, near Cape Town in South Africa, to provide quality education and skills development opportunities, helping residents build a sustainable future.

We support and build projects supporting early childhood development, primary and high school literacy and numeracy, and lifelong learning in Masiphumelele. 

Masicorp was founded in 1999 by John and Carol Thompson and a small group of volunteers. After 10 years of active involvement, the original USA team handed over management to a South African team and continue to be involved in overseas fundraising activities. Since 2009, considerable funding has also been raised in South Africa, and in 2011 Masicorp UK was set up to help fund this work.

Masicorp has no religious or political affiliations and is a tax-exempt NGO / charity registered and established in South Africa, the USA and the UK.

Masicorp UK is registered as Masicorp UK Ltd. in the UK [Charity Commission N° 1137358 HMRC Gift Aid Registration: XT26095]. The trustees are all volunteers assigned individual portfolios to advise on fundraising and governance efforts, supporting the work taking place in South Africa.
