The Big Picture
In 1996, Mano a Mano started by constructing two clinics in communities of displaced miners. Villages donated land and provided hundreds of hours of volunteer labor to complete construction. Mano a Mano donated all equipment and supplies. Since that beginning, Mano a Mano has constructed and opened a total of 120 community clinics that focus on maternal and child health. In our clinics, infant and maternal mortality rates during childbirth are significantly reduced from the average in rural areas, where mortality rates are among the highest in Latin America.
Mano a Mano has a successful, low-cost, community-oriented approach to constructing and operating clinics in previously unserved rural communities. Of the 120 clinics Mano a Mano built, 113 are now financially independent of funding from Mano a Mano.
Impact of Your Donation
Your donation will help fund construction of a new clinic. Communities approach Mano a Mano requesting a clinic in their community and are active participants in the process; they provide more than 4,000 volunteer hours in a typical clinic project and agree to provide a significant portion of the funds needed. We currently have 272 communities on our waiting list for a health clinic; your donation will help us expand healthcare into more areas of rural Bolivia.
