In Partnership with

A Guinness World Record broken by South African schools and their incredible students to raise funds for the above organisations:

The Mad Art Project

South African Schools Creating Real Change

 

The Mad Art Project gives schools across South Africa the opportunity to unite, raise funds for meaningful causes, and become part of a national movement creating measurable impact. Every participating student contributes a photograph that becomes part of a larger collaborative artwork celebrating the power of young people working together to make a difference.

 

More importantly, every contribution helps fund carefully selected charitable organisations that change lives as well as protect the environment across South Africa.

THE VISION

From a distance, each mosaic reveals powerful and iconic South African imagery, including:
  • Nelson Mandela
  • The African continent
  • A rhino
  • Table Mountain
  • The South Africa national rugby union team

Up close, every single photograph remains visible—each one representing an individual story, a memory, or a tribute.

Together, these images form something far greater than themselves:
a powerful reminder that every person matters.

WHY SCHOOLS PARTICIPATE

The Mad Art Project provides students with the opportunity to:
  • Contribute to meaningful charitable causes
  • Learn the value of collective impact
  • Participate in a creative national initiative
  • Create a lasting legacy for their school community

Together, schools can achieve far more than any individual could alone.

HOW IT WORKS

Become part of an artwork:
  • Students participate by submitting a photograph and making a R120 contribution.
  • Their image becomes part of a large-scale mosaic artwork, while the funds raised are directed towards charitable initiatives supporting meaningful work.
  • Every student receives the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves while helping create real change.

SCHOOLS MAKING AN IMPACT

For every five schools that complete their fundraising campaign, funds are combined and allocated to a specific charitable project.

These five schools become the official Impact Partner Schools for that specific project and will be recognised and celebrated for the difference they have helped create.

Each completed project includes:

  • Funds are donated to a specific organisation
  • Professional video documentation showing exactly where the funds were used
  • Real stories demonstrating the impact made
  • A dedicated social media campaign highlighting the participating schools
  • Content and media assets that schools can share on their own websites and social media platforms

Students won’t just make a donation—they’ll see the real impact of their contribution on people’s lives.
