Sending Medical Supplies & Equipment to Bolivia

The vast majority of the donated supplies and equipment we receive at our Minnesota warehouse is shipped to Bolivia. In 2021, we have sent 7 40-foot containers with 180,180 pounds of supplies from Minnesota to Bolivia. But we are happy to partner with other organizations when we have excess supplies, items that we cannot send to Bolivia, or items that are not the highest priority for our programs. Ultimately, we want to keep these supplies out of the landfill in Minnesota, and get them to people in need.

Mano a Mano distributed medical supplies and mobility equipment for 2 health centers in La Paz, Bolivia on November 26th, 2021 – for the health centers “San Juan” and “La Florida” in the municipality of Viacha, Ingavi province, department of La Paz. Representatives from the health centers traveled to Mano a Mano’s warehouse in Cochabamba from La Paz, despite poor weather and a 7+ hour drive, to be present for the distribution.
