Description
Manavata means Humanity in Sanskrit - the human virtue of tending and befriending others through love, kindness and social intelligence. It is from this very spirit that 'Manavata', a voluntary, not-for-profit, humanitarian organization, was born over two decades ago, with a mission to create a Healthy, Happy and Harmonious (3H) world.
