Campaign Details
Through this initiative, Vida Mana collected more than 2,000 essential items including school supplies, hygiene products, baby items, toys, coloring books, and recreational materials for the children supported by Red Misericordia.
Funds raised through individual donations, sponsorships, and a portion of proceeds from our Típico Night fundraiser helped make the experience possible by covering professional entertainment, snacks, remaining essential items, and activity materials for the children.
Beyond the donations, the initiative created an afternoon filled with creativity, games, laughter, and meaningful connection for more than 70 children. All collected items were donated directly to the center, which currently supports approximately 110 vulnerable children and adolescents.
At its core, this initiative was about more than giving—it was about showing up with intention, creating moments of joy, and reminding these children that they are seen, valued, and deeply cared for.

Campaign Impact
Campaign Details
During our collaboration with the Rafey Women's Correction and Rehabilitation Center in Santiago, Dominican Republic, Vida Mana ensured that every one of the 160 incarcerated women received an individualized hygiene kit. These kits contained over 1,375 essential items including toothpaste, deodorant, body lotion, soap, and hair accessories, basic necessities that are often overlooked yet vital for dignity and wellbeing.
In addition to the kits, we provided the facility with 37 packs of sanitary pads and pantyliners, amounting to 1,844 individual pieces to help meet ongoing needs. Beyond the material support, this initiative gave us the opportunity to talk with the women, listen to their stories, and learn from their lived experiences, creating a space of empathy and solidarity.
Through this effort, Vida Mana sought not only to provide resources but to affirm the humanity of these women and remind them that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten.
