Service Name

Manna Foundation is a not-for-profit volunteer organization with the primary goal of providing aid to the most disadvantaged members of the community.

Since its founding, Manna Foundation continues to provide:

Job skills training
Healthcare assistance programs
Livelihood programs
Tuition assistance programs
Free school supplies
Free meals

Over the years, the foundation has assisted disadvantaged groups such as low-income families, individuals with chronic ailments, the disabled, the homeless, and the unemployed. Manna Foundation is 100% run by volunteers from the United States, Philippines, Dubai, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia.

In December 2023, the organization put together 100 meals and were given to homeless individuals on Christmas day. The group brought presents and homemade pastries to 18 children from low-income families who spent the holidays in an intensive cure unit. As we continue to march on in 2024, Manna Foundation launched a fundraising campaign to help pay for the healthcare cost of a child who is undergoing chemo therapy.

Thali's success story

Thali is the youngest of three sisters. Her family shares that she never runs out of energy and has a great passion for learning. Her classmates enjoy playtime with her because of her cheerfulness. However, it took some time and a lot of work for Thali to become the wonderful young girl that she is today.

Thali was born with clubfoot, an abnormality in which the foot points downward and inward. In Thali’s case, she had it on both feet. If left untreated, a person will not be able to put their feet flat on the ground and ultimately not be able to stand up and walk.

Thali has been in therapy for her medical condition since birth.

Thali is a recipient of one of Manna Foundation’s healthcare programs. Manna Foundation is honored to share that after years of treatment and therapy, Thali is now able to walk, jump, run, play, and create happy and meaningful memories with her family and friends.

These photos were from Thali's kindergarten graduation, where she proudly walked up to the stage to receive her outstanding student award.

We wish you all the best and may you always be healthy so that you can pursue your dreams!

Thank you to all our donors and volunteers. With your help, we can continue to change lives for the better.

In 2013, Francis' life changed dramatically following a devastating automobile accident that resulted in a severe concussion and subsequently led to the onset of Epilepsy. For many, Epilepsy is a relentless, lifelong condition that demands constant medication and vigilance. Within weeks, Francis experienced firsthand the immense challenge and weariness of living under the constant shadow of Epilepsy's restrictions. The relentless fatigue and stress overwhelmed both body and mind, reducing daily activities, like a simple trip to the grocery store, to near impossibilities. The struggle was compounded by the debilitating side effects of anti-seizure medications.

Chronic conditions like Epilepsy, Diabetes, Cancer, Asthma, and heart disease are disabilities that mirror the impact of more visible impairments such as loss of sight, hearing, or mobility. Every bit of support becomes crucial when grappling with a disability.

Inspired by his own struggles, Francis established Manna Foundation in 2014 driven by a profound mission: to extend compassion and assistance to those who need it most.

“Day by day, little by little, better and better.”
