43 Years Transforming Lives and Strengthening Child Protection
In Bolivia, World Vision marks 43 years of continuous work, reaffirming its commitment to the holistic protection of children, adolescents, and youth. As part of a global Christian humanitarian organisation present in more than 90 countries, it continues to drive sustainable transformation processes in the country’s most vulnerable communities.
Since its arrival, World Vision Bolivia has implemented an integrated intervention model through its Area Development Programmes, placing children at the centre of every action. This approach brings together initiatives in violence prevention, health, education, livelihoods, and climate action, in close coordination with families, communities, local authorities, and strategic partners.
To date, the organisation directly supports more than 100,000 children and adolescents across over 3,000 communities, contributing to the creation of protective environments, the fulfilment of rights, and access to opportunities for a life free from violence.
World Vision Bolivia is currently present in eight departments across the country, reaching urban, peri-urban, and rural contexts, where it promotes community participation, youth leadership, and shared responsibility as key pillars for fostering a culture rooted in respect, dialogue, and care.
As part of its approach, the organisation advances strategies that strengthen the voice of children and adolescents, promoting their participation in decision-making spaces and driving concrete actions to prevent violence and strengthen social fabric.
Looking ahead to 2030, World Vision Bolivia is leading a national movement aimed at ensuring that more than 3.1 million children, adolescents, and young people live in families and communities free from violence and committed to climate action, contributing to resilient development in the face of today’s challenges.
On its 43rd anniversary, the organisation renews its commitment to continue working with faith, hope, and action, standing alongside communities and protecting children to build a more just present and future in Bolivia.
