Rehab 50 persons with disabilities in Cochabamba

Dear friend,

From Cochabamba, Bolivia, we're glad to share a story that lifts our spirits—a story of independence and hope. It’s about Rudina, a wonderful woman and mother from a rural community three hours away.

Due to a physical disability, Rudina felt isolated at home, with almost no opportunities to earn an income. With the support of the Tukuy Pacha team, she’s created a new path for herself. She moved to the nearest village, set up a small kiosk near the hospital, and now travels to work in her own electric wheelchair.

This was a team effort that started with in-home sessions to build her skills. We worked with municipal staff to secure her a public kiosk, repaired the floor, and provided the initial capital. Rudina also learned basic business management skills and is now carefully tracking her inventory. Her biggest goal? To save enough money to support her daughter’s education.

In these challenging times, Bolivia is facing an economic crisis with shortages of dollars and fuel, which makes medicines and essential products even more inaccessible for the most vulnerable. Your contribution is vital not only to support empowering processes like Rudina’s but also to give Tukuy Pacha the flexible funding we need to respond immediately to urgent requests from individuals, families, and schools.

Every dollar you donate counts. It allows us to provide medicine, school materials, assistive devices, and training sessions to help more people like Rudina achieve their dreams.

Please consider a donation today and help us keep building a more inclusive society together.
