Mafanikio Organization is a nonprofit making
organization that was established in 2003.
The main reason for its inception was and still is to offer a platform onto which
various developmental issues could be addressed. The driving principles are to promote quality education, community development, climate change, cross cultural understanding and
tolerance. It is believed that if the
aforementioned are achieved, the eco system will be balanced allowing security, basic needs and good quality of life.
Technology & internationalization has merged the world to a global village enabling the accessibility to information and visibility of the current events in the world. In line with this phenomenon, the
