About Amistad
Mission: To manifest Christ’s love for the poor by helping Bolivian children and families in need.
Vision: To provide nurturing Christian family environments for vulnerable Bolivian children to grow to independent adulthood and to strengthen families in crisis to establish loving and stable homes.
Friendship with God, Friendship with the poor, and Friendship with each other
Villa Amistad
Our Christian community unites siblings who have experienced abuse or abandonment and raises them through university or technical school.
Amistad for Families
Our child abandonment prevention program strengthens families who are on the brink of separation, so that they can build healthy, stable homes.
