Quaker Bolivia Link works alongside the indigenous Andean people.
We bring community development programs to some of the poorest rural communities in South America

Where is Bolivia?

Why is Bolivia so poor?
Bolivia has no access to the ocean. Imported goods are therefore expensive.
It has no sea port to export its products.
It is dominated by the Andes Mountains.Until the 8os its government was unstable with numerous coups. There was little investment in infrastructure and education. Bolivia is playing catch up.

Since 1995 we have designed and installed 67 village water supply
systems.Over 500 families are now
growing healthy veg in their QBL greenhouses.

QBL supports the indigenous Andean culture
![Page 8: Quaker Bolivia Link. Quaker Bolivia Link works alongside the indigenous Andean people. We bring community development programs to some of the poorest](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd91a28abf838caf589/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Life is hard on the Altiplano over 12,000 feet above sea level. The plots in the background have to lie fallow for seven years before another crop of potatoes is planted.QBL water supplies and greenhouses make a significant difference to communities like this .

We work in some of the most stunning scenery in the world.

Reaching QBL project villages
![Page 12: Quaker Bolivia Link. Quaker Bolivia Link works alongside the indigenous Andean people. We bring community development programs to some of the poorest](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd91a28abf838caf589/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Behind Bolivia’s beauty lies the harshest rural poverty in the western hemisphere.

Our Bolivian Technical Team
The team members are all Bolivian technical agriculture graduates.
They design and administer our projects.
They work alongside the people respecting their knowledge and culture.
![Page 14: Quaker Bolivia Link. Quaker Bolivia Link works alongside the indigenous Andean people. We bring community development programs to some of the poorest](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd91a28abf838caf589/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Crucially our team monitors our completed projects for up to three years.
Development work of some agencies fails because they don’t keep checking on their projects.

Quaker Bolivia Link Success Stories
QBL has built over 500 greenhouses
![Page 16: Quaker Bolivia Link. Quaker Bolivia Link works alongside the indigenous Andean people. We bring community development programs to some of the poorest](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062409/5697bfd91a28abf838caf589/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Why greenhouses?
At 12,500 feet on the Altiplano the temperature drops below freezing 200 nights of the year.
Because Bolivia is near the Equator the sun is strong. By early afternoon it can reach 65 degrees.
A greenhouse conserves the heat through the night.
A greenhouse also retains the moisture in the long dry season.

The people themselves dig the ditches, mix the cement and make
the mud bricks.
