| ABOUT US
Our Mission
con Bolivia provides direct financial support to rural universities and
communities in Bolivia which are addressing the educational, health, or
economic needs of the indigenous poor.
Background
Begun in 2003, con Bolivia is the result of a desire by Suzanne Dulle
and her husband, Juan Velasco, to create a “network of goodness”
linking generous people in the United States to educational programs and
grass-roots projects in Juan’s native Bolivia. Bolivia has the lowest
GDP per capita in South America. However, it is a country rich in cultural
and ecological diversity. Based on a belief that education is the best
way to address poverty, Suzanne and Juan are linking generous individuals
in the United States with Bolivian people in economically depressed rural
communities. These people know what they need. Often times, they simply
lack the means to make their dreams become a reality. con Bolivia helps
generous donors connect to some truly transformational, grass-roots projects
in Bolivia.
No Administrative Overhead
100% of all donations to con Bolivia go DIRECTLY to projects in Bolivia.
Contributions are not reduced to cover administrative nor operating expenses.
Funding
con Bolivia gratefully acknowledges financial support from numerous individuals,
private foundations, and the Delle
Foundation, Bread
for the Journey of Santa Fe, and the
Capital Group Charitable Foundation.
