Bolivia
Overview
Bolivia has high levels of poverty, food insecurity and social inequality. Rural women are particularly affected, suffering from a lack of services, training and job opportunities. Less than 2% of the land is owned by women. Community Evolution partners strive to improve the socioeconomic situation of rural and indigenous people in Bolivia by providing them with sustainable livelihoods for themselves and their families. By supporting community-led cooperatives, we are contributing to sustainable incomes, enabling them to better meet the daily needs of their families and communities.
