About This Cause
Fundación Manos del Sur funds programs benefiting children living in extreme poverty conditions in Latin America. We achieve this by financing health, nutrition and education programs in schools, homes for abandoned and abused children and after school organizations. Manos del Sur creates lasting change in the children whose lives we reach through our programs. Our principle is not to give the children the solution, but to give them the tools to find their own, so that they can become independent decision makers of the future. We are a small, lean organization, established in 1999 and run entirely by volunteers. 90% of all raised funds go directly to our programs. We encourage the donor’s involvement not only with us but also with the programs we fund. Every year we benefit more than 1,300 children living in extreme poverty in eight Latin American countries, providing them with the funds necessary to cover basic needs, a safe environment and education. Every year we take 50 high school volunteers on service trips to some of our programs to create awareness and future concerned leaders.
