Partners on the path
with Manna for Madagascar.
“Madagascar Marketplace“
MANNA for Madagascar partners with congregations in America who market the handicrafts in bazaars, special “Madagascar Marketplace” sales, or other venues. These profits go directly back to the centers in the form of new orders of handicrafts, thus providing more work for women. As a Manna Partner your church or store can provide a path out of poverty for these women simply by selling the handicrafts provided by MANNA Madagascar.
Manna, USA: Supporting and facilating the work of Manna for Madagascar
The real patnership with Manna for Madagascar is through the churches and individuals who work with us to sell our products and promote understanding about the issue of poverty in Madagascar and around the world. But to facilitate that, a sister non-profit organization was founded, named Manna, USA, Inc. It handles the logistics of finances so that churches are not all wiring money back to Madagascar each time they hold a sale. Thus, donations and payment for products can be channeled through Manna, USA, who then sends one wire of a lump sum back to Manna for Madagascar. Manna USA, also facilitates the distribution of Bazaar Kits, publicity and seeking new markets.
