Fundación Manos Del Sur is a non-profit organization headquartered in Miami, Florida and has been helping change the lives of children in Latin America since 1999. It was founded by a group of Latin-American professionals with the vision of helping the struggling children of their countries of origin. It establishes a bridge between individual and corporate contributors and organizations in Latin America that share the vision or improving children’s lives.

 Manos del Sur works for children in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, and Nicaragua. This is achieved through our Integrated Assistance Program (IAP) - a system of distributing funds to assist with the health, nutrition and education of children in need.
