Sustainable Bolivia is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the Bolivian Amazon that partners with local initiatives to provides resources that support ecotourism, regenerative agriculture, health and education. Volunteers and interns are placed with partner NGOs throughout the country, namely in and around Riberalta, Bolivia.
The health system in Bolivia lacks funding and staff. The facilities are often basic, the clinics mostly attend to minor emercigencies and routine visits. As a volunteer or intern in the healthcare sector you will be able to observe many types of health issues while working in facilities that are very different to what you are used to back home.
SB is working with a small local clinic which is welcoming interns and volunteers. Volunteers and interns can work in the morning in the maternity and in the afternoons help out in campaigns to raise awareness on illnesses contracted by mosquitoes.
The volunteers will be working with the local staff and nurses.
In their free time, volunteers can enjoy a lot of activities around Riberalta such as enjoying the nature of the Amazon (tours, trekking) and the animals, enjoying the rivers (boat tours) or the swimming pools close-by. It is also very easy to go to Brazil where you there is a lot of amenities for shopping.
