Our Philosophy

We partner with children’s homes and schools in Bolivia to improve health and educational conditions with the ultimate goal that every child and youth whose lives we touch can make a better future for him/herself and become a contributing member to society.

We connect those who want to make a difference in the world by ensuring that one-hundred percent of their donation goes to those in Bolivia who demonstrate initiative and responsibility but need a helping hand to overcome the unfortunate circumstances in which they were born.

Our Track Record

For more than 25 years, our all-volunteer organization has created opportunities for children and young people in Bolivia to make a better life for themselves by providing on-going assistance to specific organizations and programs with the ultimate goal of self-sufficiency.

BCF is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization subject to US Internal Revenue Code 501(c)3 regulations. One-hundred percent of donations go directly to specific programs.
