In addition to offering basic services and free healthcare, Mantay also offers tutoring and childcare, so the moms can stay in school. A social worker and psychologist help the women and children recover and cope. Mantay’s leather workshop teaches the moms an artistic skill and provides a small income through craft sales. Over 100 moms and babies have called Mantay home. That’s more than 70 young families that have a safe, healthy start.
