Your Donation Pays for Infrastructure Projects, Training, and Services that Improve Bolivian Communities’ Lives

We work in communities that have little to no access to the most basic services necessary for a decent standard of living -education, health, transportation, sanitation, water - and build infrastructure projects that will be there for the long-term.

Small Budget, Big Results

Mano a Mano has been committing to doing as much as possible with a very limited budget. In the US, we have a small staff of 3, supporting our programs in Bolivia that are implemented and run by Bolivians. We are able to construct so many infrastructure projects each year because of our collaborative approach which brings together our staff and volunteers in both countries, the local communities, and local/national governments to achieve shared goals.

Measurable Success – Improved Income and Nutrition, Decreased Infant Mortality, Reduced Travel Time

Our water projects provide a means to store water long-term, which is critical in communities where the rainy season lasts 2 months, and improve crop harvests. Water projects also greatly contribute to improved diets; farmers are now able to grow fruits and vegetables.

Mano a Mano road projects allow isolated communities to take advantage of increased crop harvests by transporting them to city markets and also dramatically reduce travel time.

Mano a Mano clinics have remarkably improved child mortality outcomes – on average the rural child mortality rate in Bolivia is 8%, and in our clinics it is 0.48% - a 94% reduction.

You can learn more about our results here.

Why Your Donation is So Important

Every project that we do in Bolivia starts with a request from a community for a need that they have identified (clinic, school, road, etc.). They are heavily involved in the project, from volunteer labor to taking over administration upon completion to providing a portion of the funding – anywhere from 33% to 100% of some projects!

But we can only do each project with seed money from you. Your donation kick-starts the entire process and allows Mano a Mano to begin work on a project; having a base of funding in place motivates all groups involved to see that their hoped-for project can become a reality, and pushes them to do their part.

There are many communities in Bolivia that are on our waiting list for a project. With your support we can reach one more of these communities and provide quality projects that dramatically improve their lives.
