What We Do

Mano en Mano builds homes, helps families pay for visits to health clinics, and provides assistance towards a better life and future for children and their families in Nicaragua. Mano has also begun to extend its efforts by providing humanitarian aid to other impoverished countries in the Western Hemisphere. Our priority projects revolve around education, health and housing, and income creation programs. With your support you can help families in many ways whether it be a family pack of medical coupons for $30 or a new roof for a home for $300.

		Feeding The Hungry Mano en Mano built a new kitchen at a school, as previously the teachers cooked on the floor with wood. Mano gives students an incentive to come to school to eat, and 200+ children at the Huerto da Paz school get cereal and milk for breakfast and lunches Monday through Friday.
		Sponsoring Children in School Children and teens want to attend school, but it is often impossible because they must work to help provide basic family needs such as food and housing. Our donors can make this possible by helping families pay for school and by meeting the family's basic needs so their children can remain in school. Click here to sponsor a child in school.
		Mano en Mano Residential Projects Mano en Mano creates new homes for families. In conjunction with the St. Stephen's summer community service trips, students have built five homes to date, providing needy families with safe and decent shelter. In partnership with an agency in Granada, we are continuing to fund better homes for the poor.
		Mano en Mano Medical Visit Coupon Program Mano en Mano funded medical visits for 300 people, including both their doctor's visits as well as follow-up medication. We are continuing to fund medical help for families, and we also fund part of the fee required for dental visits.
