ABOUT US

SUPPORTING DISADVANTAGED CHILDREN IN ECUADOR

We are a collaborative of Ecuadorian and expat residents providing assistance related to the health, welfare and education of Manta’s children.

Projects and activities are determined annually by the Board of Directors with input from the full organization membership. We provide our time, talents, and financial assistance, along with actively seeking donations from companies and individuals from inside and outside Ecuador. We will affiliate with organizations that hold the appropriate tax status in their respective countries to ensure that all contributions will be tax deductible. The members of YOU and US for Manta’s Children welcome assistance and participation of any form and hope that YOU will join US in this important work!

MISSION STATEMENT
In the spirit of community, YOU & US for Manta’s Children is committed to improving the lives of disadvantaged children in Manta, Ecuador.

DONATIONS
You & Us for Manta’s Children Inc. is a registered non-profit organization in the State of Kansas. We have USA 501(c)3 tax status, which allows US citizens to claim tax deductible donations. We provide our own time, talents and financial assistance, along with seeking donations from individuals, organizations and companies in Ecuador and around the world.

OUR COMMITMENT TO YOU
We promise to be ‘good stewards’ and that every dollar of your donation will go to help continue our work on behalf of the disadvantaged Children of Manta, Ecuador. It is only through the generous donations from our supporters and the time and energy of our volunteers that we are able to carry out our Mission.
