Support 125 children at Refugio Rafael in Bolivia

As 2023 develops, we are reinforcing our partnerships and expanding the reach of our programming into as much of the community as possible. As you may recall, our project primarily serves people in the Marquina area, many of whom are indigenous Quechua people who have migrated from remote rural areas in search of paid work, more educational opportunties for their children and often health care. We seek to support the range of pressures that come with setting up in a semi-urban area. 

Our primary programming includes educational support for school aged children, transitional housing for single parents, and many associated support programs including food distribution, scholarships and support for young people to enter the workforce, small business development and growth support, medical, dental and vision assistance. While our primary focus for all these services is those in greatest need, including those accepted into the housing program and the after school programming, we have been able to offer support to the surrounding community through the local school system, and now with a partnership with the neighboring community. 

As we broaden our reach, we hope you will check out our more newly established project on this platform, which best reflects our next steps in expansion. We still appreciate your donations and support through this project, and will keep you updated either way.
