To fulfil our mission, Friends of Bolivia supports a number of projects, which are spread throughout the country (see our map). Details of the projects are available below.
The success of these projects has meant that we have been able to fund:
- the building of new classrooms for the school in Jupapina, Mallasa, La Paz that were severely damaged in the flood of February 2002
- the building of 15 homes for victims of earthquake in the rural area of Montecillos in 1998
- medical equipment
- equipment and tools for a small laboratory
- wheel chairs
- medicines
- food
- workshops for drug rehabilitation centres for children
- equipment such as stoves and ovens
- braille books and tools for the blind
- sheets, blankets, pots and pans, crockery, clothing
- salary for a community teacher
