Support Community Climate Disaster Response Training in Bolivia

In 10 days, Friends of Mother Earth will launch a Train-the-Trainer program in Bolivia to prepare community leaders to respond to climate-driven disasters—floods, wildfires, and extreme weather that are already impacting vulnerable communities.

This training will equip local Bolivian leaders with lifesaving skills in disaster preparedness, first aid, fire safety, and community coordination—so they can return home and train others, multiplying the impact across regions most at risk. Bolivians have been requesting this type of training for years.

We’re seeking urgent support to cover training materials, travel for trainees, and local logistics. Every contribution, regardless of amount, helps build community-led resilience where it’s needed most.

Please consider supporting this effort and sharing with your network. Together, we can strengthen frontline capacity and protect lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems across Bolivia.
