The organization supplements these with the Youth Ready youth empowerment program, monthly child sponsorship (Guardianes de la Niñez), targeted campaigns such as Un boliviano a la vez (disability inclusion) and Nutrikits (child nutrition), and climate-resilience projects such as VIDA in the Bolivian Amazon.
