Biosand Filters Project
Bolivian Quaker Youth and the water crisis. Climate change has had a large impact over the last 20 years in Bolivia. Recently young Friends have been building biosand water filters for providing clean and safe water to Bolivians who do not have water due to extreme droughts and flooding. Each biosand filter costs $50, which can be used by two or three families since it provides 72 liters per day.

Food Security Project
Young Friends working on Food Security Project that consists of providing potatoes to families in the Bolivian Altiplano. These families lost their crops due to the severe drought in 2022. In the first stage of this project from March to June, 2023 we distributed potatoes to 150 families. Each family received 100 pounds of potatoes to sustain their families. The cost of seed potatoes per family was $50 (U.S. funds). Click on the reports to read the stories and see photos of this project: Project letter , Project Rport 1, Report 2, Project 3
