Bolivia Partnership

The Quechua are the largest people group in Bolivia.

We partner with Javier and Lidia Solíz, under the leadership of United World Mission in ministry to the Quechua People of Bolivia.  Javier and Lidia are in demand from local people all over Bolivia. Their giftedness in bible teaching and skills with appropriate technology make their ministry one in which we are happy to support.
Quechua (descendants of the Inca Empire)   are intelligent heard working people, who were not declared human by their own government until 1952. They do not trust easily.  Javier & Lidia (Both Bolivians and she a Quechua) have built trust among The Quechua and other people groups throughout the country.

simple and inexpensive, these pumps use PVC pipe, used bicycle tubes, bottle caps and a bit or wire to greatly improve many lives.
