A Better
Bolivia

The Caterpillar Foundation invests in Mano a Mano International, an organization dedicated to serving Bolivian communities by improving healthcare, transportation and economic conditions. Mano a Mano collaborates with partner organizations to build sustainable solutions that improve the quality of life in this developing country.

For many Bolivians, access to medical care is extremely limited. In some regions, the nearest medical clinic is a four-hour walk. The sick and injured are often carried on the backs of others. In addition, Bolivia has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the world.

With the Caterpillar Foundation's assistance, Mano a Mano has built and continues to build new roads that improve access to medical facilities, schools and markets. As a result, Bolivian businesses and farms are expanding, which benefits the entire region. Many medical clinics are now treating 10 times more patients than they did just 10 years ago. Thousands of new mothers and their children are being cared for each year.

The Caterpillar Foundation's ongoing partnership with Mano a Mano is building a brighter future full of health and hope for the people of Bolivia.
