Friends of Mother Earth is pleased to release our latest Impact Report, documenting the successful launch of our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Train-the-Trainer program in Bolivia.
This report highlights the training of 25 local CERT instructors across six departments — Pando, La Paz, Beni, Chuquisaca, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz — laying the foundation for Bolivia’s first nationwide network of community-based emergency responders.
Our work focuses on strengthening:
-
- Disaster preparedness and emergency response capacity
- Climate resilience and adaptation to floods, droughts, and wildfires
- Community-led solutions that protect lives, livelihoods, and ecosystems
Through locally led training and partnerships with universities and public institutions, this initiative is advancing a scalable model for disaster risk reduction and environmental resilience in Bolivia.

As we move into Phase II, we will expand this effort by supporting local trainers, strengthening institutional partnerships, and building a coordinated national network capable of responding to climate-driven emergencies.
