AYUDA began working with the Red Boliviana de Diabetes Juvenil (RBDJ) in 2006.

 

AYUDA’s initiatives in Bolivia are focused on building a strong national network of youth leaders who can carry out projects in their local communities.  With the support of AYUDA, the RBDJ runs two diabetes camps in La Paz and Santa Cruz, Bolivia as well as two leadership training and planning conferences.

 

Additionally, our teams split and travel to various departments to conduct outreach projects such as home, school, and clinic visits.
