    Organizational structure: Manos Unidas has a diocesan structure, which means it is present throughout the whole Spanish geography. The mission of the 70 Delegations of Manos Unidas is to raise the awareness of the population on the global situation and the collecting of donations for the financing of the projects supported by the Organisation. Manos Unidas also has its Central Services in Madrid.(Spain)
    Number and type of members: Voluntary workers are one of the hallmarks of Manos Unidas. From the governing bodies of the Organisation, which must be composed of volunteers, to the groundwork. In 2014, 5,146 volunteers regularly gave the Organisation their time and their know-how. This year we have counted with the support of 79,205 partners and collaborators who have trusted in our work to build a better world. Our work would be impossible without them all: volunteers, hired people, members and collaborators, parishes, schools, companies, associations and foundations, media… and everyone else who place their trust in us.
