ADVANCE #3020535 - SENIOR ADULT MINISTRIES IN BOLIVIA

For most poor senior adults in Bolivia, when the parents can no longer dig potatoes or take care of sheep, they rely on their adult children to do it and share with them. However, because of the high mortality rate of young persons, there is a significant number of senior adults whose children have all died. An additional problem is migration of the young people to other nations looking for work. If the adult child doesn’t do well in another country, they are often never heard from again. This has led to a significant population in Bolivia called the “Orphaned Parents”. They have no means to feed or house themselves. These senior adults are living in abandoned adobe or rock homes. They also struggle to find food. Residents cannot afford to cover the actual cost of operations for the home consequently a system to subsidize the operating expenses of this home is needed.
