With your legacy you will continue to live in our projects
Your legacy is a gesture of great generosity and value because it represents a concrete help to our work, and at the same time, a demonstration of love and trust towards the future, towards all the generations to come.
Your ideals, the values you believe in will become concrete help for entire communities that, thanks to you, will be able to live in a more just world, where every people can feed on the fruits of its land and food is a right for all, where the environment is respected and resources are used fairly, where children are free from violence and have the opportunity to have an education.

“A legacy always brings with it something unique. It is not a simple donation, but a meeting of times, of stories, of lives lived and lives to be built. I personally meet donors interested in leaving a legacy and the first meeting always turns out to be a precious opportunity to get to know each other. It is a purely introductory chat: I have the pleasure of listening to their story, the reasons that led them to be interested in this choice. I share with them the projects that Mani Tese is carrying out in the world: data, testimonies from the field, photographs. It is, in fact, a meeting of many lives. Not only ours but of all those that a legacy will change forever.
In Mani Tese we have a trusted Professional who takes care of providing all the most technical information on the subject: the meeting between the supporter and the Notary is the second step. It is a confidential and private conversation, without our presence, so that people feel free to ask all their questions. If the interest in making a legacy is confirmed, we remain available for any further information.
If you want to tell me your story, to share your desire to take care of the future as you do the present, contact me. It will be a pleasure for me to meet you!”

Fundraising and Communications Manager

Your legacy will be transformed into development projects, into a lasting change that will concretely improve the lives of many communities. Your legacy will mean access to water, tools to cultivate the land, professional training and education for many boys and girls. It will mean fair use of resources and respected rights. It will mean a world without hunger and injustice, a more just world, because it was imagined and created together with you.

Paola's story
"I have always been sensitive to social inequalities and in many ways I feel privileged to have had a stable job and now a more than decent pension. I would like to share, in my own small way, this privileged situation with someone who was more disadvantaged and I therefore decided to make a bequest, in favour of Mani Tese, organization that I trust in using donations for. I am pleased to think that my legacy is represented not only by sums of money, but also by attention, sensitivity and generosity towards people seeking dignity in work and better living conditions. Mani Tese's legal advisor was of great help to me for testamentary bequests, crucial to shaping my intentions. ".
Paola Pascucci, supporter of Mani Tese

The testimony of those who were saved by that legacy
"My name is Bernadette, I live in Manarè and I have three small children. The river water was the only one we had but, When my children drank it, they often got sick.
There was no clean water in the village and my field was also increasingly dry and food was scarce. I had to walk many kilometers to get it. We needed a well with clean water, as soon as possible to get back to living.
Now thanks to the tank you donated to us we have water to irrigate the fields, to cook and more time to dedicate to our children and to taking care of the garden. They told me that I have to thank a person, a person who I don't know but who helped Mani Tese build the well with a bequest. I can only thank him in thought but his generosity will be the clean water we will drink every day”
Frequently asked questions
In the absence of heirs and testamentary provisions, the entire estate is devolved to the State.
No. The holographic will is free, except for the possible cost, however modest, of the notary's intervention for the advice and the deposit. The public will has an accessible cost and varies based on the complexity of the practice and the size of the estate.
Yes, a testamentary bequest is a provision that finds its place within a will. Only in this way can it be valid.
No, the legacy concerns the available portion of a person's hereditary assets. The heirs are already entitled to the legitimate portion. Instead, your gesture will take on even more value, because it will be an important lesson that you will leave to your children and grandchildren.
The most suitable professional figure on the subject is certainly the notary. Mani Tese provides its supporters with a trusted notary, to whom they can submit doubts and questions without obligation.
Absolutely not. A legacy does not necessarily have to be a large sum or a valuable asset. Even the smallest amounts can change lives: for example, to send a child to school for a whole year or to provide a farmer with seeds for his fields, a few dozen euros are enough.
Yes. The life insurance premium is not part of the estate and can be allocated to a non-profit organization such as Mani Tese.
