Fundación InternetBolivia.org

What Fundación InternetBolivia.org does

Fundación InternetBolivia.org is a Bolivian civil society organization founded in 2018 and headquartered in La Paz that promotes human rights and digital inclusion across six thematic areas: digital economy, data protection and responsible AI, digital inclusion, the fight against digital violence, combating disinformation, and digital security. Its operational model is a portfolio of mission-driven projects rather than a single product: the core service is SOS Digital, a holistic response team providing emotional, legal, and technological accompaniment to victims of digital violence via WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram; surrounding this are program-level initiatives including Misión Ciudadana (an AI-assisted civic consultation for first-time voters), Generaciones Futuras (intercultural digital literacy for youth aged 13–20), Municipios Digitales (digital inclusion in municipal governments, with Asociación Aguayo), RECIPE (capacity building for Global South activists), the Festival Cibergüenzas, and the Podcast Cibergüenzas. The foundation also produces original research and policy publications on digital violence, disinformation, AI regulation, and data protection, and contributes to legislative processes such as Bolivia's data protection bill.

Underlying technology is modest and non-proprietary: digital service delivery is built around standard web platforms (WordPress-based properties including sosdigital.internetbolivia.org, cursos.internetbolivia.org, and misionciudadana.internetbolivia.org), social media channels, and a WhatsApp/Signal/Telegram accompaniment line (+591 62342430). The organization does not develop proprietary software stacks; AI is deployed only in narrow, product-specific contexts (a public consultation AI model within Misión Ciudadana), with no disclosed proprietary models, training pipelines, or data assets.

The business model is a non-profit, grant-funded structure. Services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, and revenue comes from project-based grants and donations from international development partners including the European Union, Inter-American Development Bank (BID), French Development Agency (AFD), Oxfam Bolivia, and co-implementing civil society partners. The foundation employs approximately 10 people, operates from a single office in La Paz (Av. 20 de octubre No. 2644, edificio Torreluz, of. 303), and serves primarily domestic Bolivian beneficiaries across women, youth, politicians, rural producers, civil society organizations, and municipal governments.

Core offering

Fundación InternetBolivia.org provides free civil-society services that defend digital rights and promote digital inclusion in Bolivia. Its anchor service is SOS Digital, a 24/7 accompaniment team responding to digital gender-based violence via emotional, legal, and technological guidance delivered through WhatsApp, Signal, and Telegram.

Product overview

Fundación InternetBolivia.org is a Bolivian civil society organization that functions as a portfolio of digital rights projects and services rather than a single unified product.

Surrounding this are multiple thematic projects including Misión Ciudadana (AI-based civic consultation for young voters), Generaciones Futuras (digital literacy for youth), and Municipios Digitales (municipal digital inclusion). Additional offerings include capacity-building programs like RECIPE, training courses on digital rights and AI responsibility, publications and guides on digital safety, and community initiatives like the Cibergüenzas festival and podcast.
