A Quaker Response to Poverty
Quaker Bolivia Link has been able to improve the living conditions of some of the more impoverished people in Latin America: the Aymara of the Altiplano. We have funded community projects to provide clean water, improve food security and promote better health and wellbeing.
Quaker Bolivia Link has Closed.
Dear Friends,
It is with great sadness that the Trustees have now
closed our charity.
In recent years we have tried to find new Trustees but
have been unsuccessful: a lack of new blood, trustees’
ages, long service, and declining health, mean that it
was not realistic to try and carry on any further.
The generosity of Quaker Meetings, individuals and
Trusts has meant that the work planned for late 2025
and early 2026 has been completed. Our remaining
funds were used to support the final water project with
Fundacion Quaker Bolivia Link and to fund more
Domestic Violence Prevention work by AVPPAV Bolivia.
You can read in our final newsletter about the projects
we supported in 2025
Quaker Bolivia Link – QBL was able to celebrate 30
years of service.
Over the years, we have delivered
around 200 projects and directly benefitted nearly
20,000 families in the rural Altiplano. We could not have
done this without the years of support from many
individuals, Quaker Trusts, and more than 250 Quaker
Meetings. We are profoundly thankful for all this and the
opportunity for service it has given to every one of us
who has been involved.
