2019 was a milestone year for Mano a Mano as we celebrated our 25th anniversary in operation!
None of our work would be possible without the support of many dedicated supporters in the US, Bolivia, and elsewhere; we thank you for helping us get here!
Check out a few pictures of what we were able to do together in 2019.

In addition to the supplies sent from Minnesota, all windows, doors, desks, chairs, beds, and other equipment are built by Mano a Mano Bolivia staff at their warehouse in Cochabamba. These desks and chairs were being prepared for a school project in June 2019.
