Bolivia enchants travelers with its dramatic landscapes, from the surreal Salar de Uyuni salt flats to the Amazon rainforest. Its colorful markets and indigenous traditions offer an authentic cultural experience.

Bolivia has the highest extreme poverty rate in South America, with nearly 30 percent of the population affected. Foreign bilateral aid covers about 41 percent of development NGO funding, while domestic donations contribute less than 8 percent. Maternal mortality remains high at an estimated 160 deaths per 100,000 live births. Nonprofits working on rural healthcare, maternal wellness, and education need volunteers—nurses, midwives, teachers—to deliver critical services in underserved regions.
