You can help rescue a child from poverty.
All around the world, children are waiting for a meal, a classroom, a doctor, and hope that lasts. When you partner with MANNA, you help local churches care for these children in body, mind, and heart.
A Christian mission built around one child at a time.
MANNA Worldwide exists to rescue children from poverty, the kind you can see and the kind you cannot. For 25 years we have come alongside local churches in some of the hardest places on earth, giving pastors and leaders the resources to feed, teach, heal, and share the hope of Christ with the children they already know and love.
Rooted in the local church
Every project is led by pastors and national leaders who understand the language, culture, and real needs of their people.
Focused on the whole child
We care for body, mind, and heart together, because a child in poverty needs food and healing and hope all at once.
Built for lasting transformation
We invest for the long term, strengthening families and communities so children can grow, learn, and thrive for years to come.
A simple, proven path from need to lasting change.
Rescue rarely happens all at once. Here is how your partnership reaches a child and stays with them.
We start with local leaders
MANNA partners with pastors, missionaries, and national leaders who already live in the community. They see the needs up close, every single day.
We care for the whole child
A warm meal opens a door. A door opens a relationship. And through that relationship, children and families come to know the love of Christ.
We build change that lasts
Every project strengthens families and stabilizes communities, creating paths for children to grow, learn, and thrive long after today.
Whatever it takes to help a child be rescued and restored.
Different communities need different care. Your giving makes each of these possible through the local church.
Nutrition Centers
Reliable, healthy meals and a place where children are known by name and cared for.
Schools & Education
Access to learning that opens new opportunities and helps break cycles of generational poverty.
Medical Care
Essential treatment in communities where healthcare options are very limited.
Clean Water
Wells and water systems that reduce disease and bring safer, healthier days to whole communities.
Orphan Care & Family Homes
Safe, nurturing homes where vulnerable children find stability, love, and belonging.
Youth Camps & Retreats
Space for the next generation to step away from the noise and grow in faith and character.
Job Skills Training
Practical skills that help families build stability and hope for the future.
Sharing the Gospel
The heart of it all. Every program is a doorway for children and families to encounter Jesus.

Tumaini means Hope.
“Food for the body and hope for the soul, in the same place, on the same day.”
This summer, MANNA leaders Steve and Shelley Switzer returned to Kenya. In the village of Mwanguda, they shared lunch with children at the Nutrition Center, sat with families in their homes, and celebrated alongside the people of Tumaini Church.
A warm meal opened a door. A door opened a relationship. And in that place, three precious people gave their lives to Jesus. That is the heart of how MANNA works, and it happens because partners and friends like you choose to give, to go, and to pray.
