OVERVIEW

Despite vast reserves of natural resources, Bolivia remains the poorest country in South America. Many are often marginalized with little access to public services, and most work in subsistence farming, mining, small trades or the arts.

    OUR PROJECTS IN BOLIVIA

    1

    Fight Chagas Disease

    Chagas disease is a silent killer among the poor, transmitted by an insect that thrives in adobe walls and thatched roofs that slowly destroys internal organs, especially the heart. Workshops aim at preventative measures, providing access to medical attention and testing, and reinforcing homes to protect families from contracting the disease.

    Supporting street kids and kids with parents in prison 

    Reaching out to vulnerable kids and teens in poverty or struggling to stay in school, to help provide social, physical, spiritual, and emotional support.

    3

    Training women and leaders
