Made by hand!

Manikako is a Filipino organization that teaches children how to make their own dolls from old clothes and recycled materials.

Filled with love!

Manikako offers free doll-making workshops to less fortunate Filipino children, helping them rediscover creativity, resourcefulness and environmental responsibility, values which can help them rise above poverty.

Let's create a brighter future, one doll at a time!

At the Manikako workshop, a Manika (doll) is transformed into a Manikako (my doll). We believe the world becomes a better place when we make beautiful things for someone else, so you always make a Manikako for a friend – never for yourself. The Manikako staff will guide you throughout the workshop, sharing doll-making tips, sewing techniques and a story or two.
