Make A Mark Foundation was established in 1993 by Patty & John Noel as a non-profit, humanitarian program focused on making a positive difference in the lives of our global neighbors. Thanks to the hard work and generosity of a number of people who have contributed physically and financially, Make A Mark has been successful in building clinics, schools and orphanages in developing countries throughout the world.

Over the past decade, Make A Mark has focused its efforts on the looming orphan crisis in sub-Saharan Africa. As a result of the devastating AIDS pandemic, millions of orphans and vulnerable children are being left to fend for themselves. Make A Mark is working with a coalition of partners and NGOs to create a lasting solution to the growing orphan crisis.
