Meet our Team
Masicorp was founded in 1999 by John and Carol Thompson and a small group of volunteers. After 10 years of active involvement in Masicorp, 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 support our 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.
