The level of empathy that my colleagues and the management show towards each other is unparalleled. It translates into our work and genuinely feels like we are making a difference. MAD inspires you, for a lifetime's worth. The work, the people and the cause.
This organisation has been like a family to me for the last 5 years. And the amount of patience, understanding, and love, each person has to give is astounding. There is genuine care in this organisation, and we're allowed to be ourselves. I have never felt judged, and have always been encouraged to take ownership. The bond is so strong that I know I have a home to stay in at least 23 cities in the country.
