Mano a Mano International Partners (our Minnesota-based nonprofit, with four counterpart organizations in Bolivia to follow over the next decade+) was formally founded in October 1994 – 30 years ago! Check out a quick snapshot of how some of Mano a Mano’s major programs started decades ago, and where we are now:
Getting Started in the Early 1990s
Recovered Resources Program – the Program that Started Mano a Mano in 1994
Building Health Clinics in Bolivia
Building Schools and Teacher Housing
Providing Aviation to Rapidly Connect Isolated Rural Communities in Bolivia
Water Projects
Building a Center for Ecological Agriculture
Everything is a Partnership
Mano a Mano’s mission is: “Partnering together – Hand in Hand – to transform the health and well-being of Bolivian communities in need.” We accomplish that mission through a community-based partnership model, bringing many people together to accomplish things that none of us could do on our own. Thank you to everyone that is a part of Mano a Mano!

Thank You!
Thank you to everyone that attended our event at Mano a Mano on September 15th celebrating 30 years in operation for our Minnesota-based nonprofit! Everything we are able to do is a partnership: we are so grateful to our volunteers, donors, interns, staff, Board, travelers, and everyone that is a part of Mano a Mano! Working together, we can accomplish our mission of “Partnering together – Hand in Hand – to transform the health and well-being of Bolivian communities in need.” (We kept last week’s event at our warehouse on the smaller side, as we are wrapping up some construction work on the building.)
