Through this dynamic Community Partnership your community group, however large or small  has the opportunity to help those less fortunate than us.
There are 3 ways to take action. You can...

Provide an opportunity

As a community group within Manly you can provide an opportunity to a group of families living in Manado to help themselves out of poverty.

Manly-Manado works through two NGO development partners that help transform the lives of people trapped in poverty. These partners work through a variety of development projects.

For example:
A micro-enterprise program that allows you to provide an opportunity for Manadonese families to successfully build a small business and provide for their own needs.

Or a child development program that allows you to sponsor children to provide them with basic nutritional needs, education, emotional and spiritual well being.

View these and other development projects.

To see examples of families and groups that benefitted from Manly's support read Transformational Stories.

Participate in community

Since this partnership started in 2005 many people in Manly, along with friends, families and local businesses, have initiated community events or activities.

Since May 2010 Manly-Manado has ceased its incorporated status and as such cannot provide a fundraising authority for you to publicly fundraise under the Manly-Manado name. However you can raise funds publicly through Everyday Hero for Compassion or Bridge of Hope (via CNEC) or through contacting each organisation directly.

Why not do something that you have always dreamt of doing, using your passions and talents, to raise awareness and resources to help those trapped in poverty?

Advocate for others

As a community group you have the opportunity to advocate for those less fortunate around the world.

Each of us can help change the lives of those living in poverty by advocating on their behalf to our friends, our family, our community and our government.

Please join one of the many advocacy movements, stay engaged with the issues and take your action against poverty to a global level. Examples includes Make Poverty History, The Micah Challenge or Compassion's Child Advocate Network.

Why not challenge the Australian Federal Government to meet the Millennium Development Goals of halving extreme poverty by 2015?
