Environmental management is a major concern in Bolivia and its town of Cochabamba, water shortages are recurrent and the consequences of climate change are palpable.

LifeTime Projects helps support children’s homes in the town of Cochabamba to become sustainable by implementing practical and theoretical eco learning programmes with the children. Hogares Verdes which means “Green Homes” is an educational programme about ecological citizenship. The aim is to raise awareness on environmental issues within 6 Bolivian orphanages, in order to develop an understanding of the importance of recycling, sustainable agriculture, and the protection of the environment Furthermore, urban vegetable gardens are set up with the children’s homes with home grown,organic products which provide healthy and sustainable food sources for the homes.

The elder children at the homes are also able to follow vocational training in agroforestry and environmental protection. 

The Hogares Verdes project follows an ecological, economical and social logic that entirely contributes to sustainable improvements in the living environment of Cochabamba. The long term aim is to integrate environmental issues in local political discussions and behaviour.

We organise an online meeting between you and our local in Bolivia so you can get to know each other before your arrival and so as to tailor your project accordingly. Our team will pick you up at Cochabamba, Jorge Wilstermann airport and accompany you throughout. We provide accommodation with host families to ensure a comfortable stay and to enhance linguistic immersion for our volunteers. We are committed to providing optimal support to volunteers who decide to join us in Bolivia. Therefore, we assist you in your initial days, including airport pick-up, city tour, SIM card purchase, explanation of public transportation, and guidance throughout your volunteering. To ensure a smooth experience, we organise weekly meetings with our volunteers to discuss the week's progress and address any problems or questions.
