Daily Work, Daily Challenges: July 2025 Video Series

Our mission is “Partnering together – Hand in Hand – to transform the health and well-being of Bolivian communities in need.” Mano a Mano was established in Minnesota in 1994, and has been guided by the simple, yet powerful premise that groups of committed individuals can reach across national boundaries to make a dramatic difference in the lives of others. 30+ years later, we are now 5 counterpart organizations – 4 in Cochabamba, Bolivia and 1 in Saint Paul, Minnesota – with a variety of complementary projects and programs, a shared goal of improving people’s lives throughout Bolivia, and a commitment to working together – “mano a mano” – so that we can accomplish things together that none of us could do on our own.

Although there are always challenges in this work, 2025 has been particularly difficult; in this 6-part series on Youtube, we chat with some of our staff in Bolivia about what goes into their daily work across a variety of Mano a Mano projects and programs, and we are grateful for their commitment and ability to keep moving forward as Mano a Mano.
