Our Results

Measurable outcomes with sustainable results. Since 1994:

  • Shipped 3.5 million pounds of medical supplies to Bolivia that would have ended up in Minnesota landfills
  • Built 127 clinics that provide comprehensive health care access to 700,000 Bolivians. The infant mortality rate is reduced by 94% in our clinics.
  • Constructed or improved 1,400 kilometers of roads helping isolated communities connect to larger markets. Travel time can be reduced from days to a few hours.
  • Constructed 4 large agricultural water reservoirs and 160 water ponds (atajados) that improve crop yields and quality for Bolivian farmers. Access to water can double or triple a farm family’s income.
  • Built 44 schools, along with teacher housing and community bathrooms, that provide quality education to rural children
  • Provided emergency air rescue to 1,416 patients for life-saving medical treatment
All of these projects were built in collaboration with the local community, and every single one of these projects continues to operate today (read more about our model).
