broadening our reach
and experience
Manāna was founded in 2014 in Atlanta, GA by high schooler Saachi Datta as a response to the hardships she saw refugee girls facing when they came into the country. As strong believers in the power of joy, Saachi and a few classmates created a club to host birthday parties as an after-school program. Over the next few years, the club grew to be a non-profit under the umbrella of the GivingPoint Institute.
Today, Manāna is a full-fledged 501(c)3 tax-exempt non-profit operating in three states, with branches having opened in Philadelphia in 2018 and Seattle in 2020. By broadening its reach and experiences with 350+ children across both cities, Manāna is able to host birthdays and other celebrations specially tailored for each group of children.
Spreading happiness is what we love to do, and we look forward to continuing our mission to reach more children!
