Our Vision
The vision of IOU Bolivia is to establish family size orphanages affiliated with a neighborhood church for discipleship and spiritual support. We create homes for 10 orphans each and raise them in a Christian setting by Bolivian Christian house parents.
Bolivia’s Best Coffee
Bolivia’s Best Coffee isn’t about the coffee – it’s about what the coffee allows us to do. We began roasting Bolivian coffee for the sole purpose of providing Christian homes and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with the orphaned and abandoned children of Bolivia.
Support IOU
IOU Bolivia always looks forward to leveraging the unique talents of those interested in helping. The organization often finds that it takes all types of talents to truly advance the mission of the organization. A few of the frequent ways our partners and teams support us in-country are detailed below.

So the past couple of weeks have been pretty hectic, the Ross family arrived and stayed at the Hacienda for a while, we had the christmas babywashing, lost power because of a eucalyptis tree and a wind storm, and broke a tienda´s window playing soccer. Needless to say pretty crazy! I bought a bike the other day in La Concha and have been riding it with the orphans! We also made a trip out to Kewiña to check on the progress of the two orphanages being built...
