Bolivia

The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is present in Bolivia primarily through the Joining Hands program (JH) of the Presbyterian Hunger Program, which is funded largely through the One Great Hour of Sharing. The JH network in Bolivia, UMAVIDA, connects Presbyterians from the United States with communities in Bolivia to fight the root causes of hunger and poverty and to promote fullness of life for all. Mission personnel serve with UMAVIDA as facilitators for our work together.
 
Our partner church in Bolivia tracks its beginnings to the efforts of Korean Presbyterian missionaries, who arrived in 1982.
