The Bolivian Foundation for Social Development (BFSD) is a non-profit organization.
Our Mission is to improve the quality of life of Bolivian people and the communities they live in, by promoting educational, cultural & development opportunities that are sustainable, thereby making a positive contribution to the societies in which they live both in Bolivia and in the USA.

In Bolivia we partner with Fundacion Boliviana para el Desarrollo Social (FUNDESOC) since 2017, a non-profit organization based in the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, with ample experience in the design, implementation & evaluation of sustainable development projects in several regions. In addition to sharing common goals & values, our organizations complement each other to create a positive exchange of experiences, knowledge and resources between our countries.

We firmly believe in and apply the following VALUES:

• COMMITMENT: We work with courage and perseverance to give opportunities to those who need them.
• INCLUSION: We believe in providing equal opportunities for all to participate actively, contribute and benefit from our projects.
• DIVERSITY:We value and respect human and natural diversity; these differences enrich & are vital to society and life on our planet.
