Welcome to Plan Bolivia
Plan work's in both urban and rural areas of Bolivia.
In and around the capital city of Sucre, we work in 40 slum areas, and in 135 villages to promote health and education and raise living standards and incomes.
In the rural regions of Potosi, Altiplano, Tarija and Santa Cruz, our work is mainly focused on improving the living standards of farming communities.
More about Bolivia
Bolivia, straddling the Andes of South America, is a diverse land of vast mountains, cold desolate plateaux, and semi-tropical and fertile lowlands.
In rural areas, families are mostly self-employed and earn their income from their farms. Their income, which consists of crops, milk and meat from their animals, is usually lower than families living in urban areas.
Most of the population in Bolivia lives in small, sun-dried mud brick homes with zinc or tile roofs. These houses are often connected to other homes to form a compound with a centre courtyard, providing a safe haven during the winter weather and from undomesticated animals.
