Helping to Reduce the Impact of Poverty on Children in Bolivia

Welcome to Bolivia, where the terrain is both challenging and beautiful, and the weather can be as extreme as the landscape. Canadian Feed The Children has been working to reduce the impact of poverty on children in Bolivia since 2004 and, with the help of our community partners, we’ve been succeeding for thousands of youngsters.

Please take a look through our photo gallery to get a glimpse of how your support brings health, security and the joy of childhood back to children living in some of Bolivia’s poorest communities, facing some of the most serious obstacles to good health and sound development.
