Changing Lives Today And For Eternity
Nestled in the heart of a valley near the majestic mountains of Cochabamba, Bolivia stands a place of hope for children: The Bolivian Hope Center. And there are thousands of children in Cochabamba that are desperately in need of hope.
In Cochabamba, every day at least three children under the age of six are abandoned in the streets by their parents because they can no longer care for them. These children must fend for themselves.

Latest News - Children move into Home of Hope
The local women’s prison houses 1000+ children who are forced to serve their mother’s sentence because there is no other place for the child to live. Life for these children becomes a miserable existence. They sleep on makeshift floor mats and are only fed if their mother has the ability to pay for their food. And even then they are not safe from the streets...when the prison becomes “overcrowded,” the older children (as young as 10 years old) are removed from the prison and sent out into the streets and expected to find their own way in the world.
These desperate children need a dynamic solution!
A Work of Life has come alongside the Bolivian Hope Center to help care for these precious children. Through volunteers and donations, A Work of Life has helped build a three story home that can provide short-term and long-term care for the children of Cochabamba.
