Mano a Mano’s most recent distribution event for 36 organizations that came to Cochabamba to receive donated supplies in March 2018.

Mano a Mano’s last shipment of containers arriving at our Cochabamba, Bolivia warehouse in late 2017.

Our Last Loading Event at Mano a Mano in August 2017

On August 24-26 2017, Mano a Mano volunteers loaded 5 containers with 120,882 pounds of donated medical, school, and other supplies, with a conservative value of $1.8 million. These containers then started their journey to Bolivia, which takes a few weeks to arrive in-country, and many more months to clear customs.

Many of these supplies were distributed to organizations that came from around Bolivia during a distribution event in Cochabamba, Bolivia earlier this month.
