The project is led by the Machaqa Amawta" Foundation, an organization that works locally with the Spanish Salesian NGO Solidaridad Don Bosco and that it is committed to promoting educational, productive and organizational processes and research that improves the quality of lives of indigenous peoples, peasants and people in socio-economically disadvantaged conditions.
The headquarters of the project is in El Alto, Bolivia, where there are many rural women living with limited economic resources. Thanks to this project training activities are currently in full swing for the first classes of students, nearly 300 women who are learning or improving their technical and production skills in cutting and packaging, hand stitching, food marketing and the production of jewellery. They are the first class to receive training.
All the activities and the project workers have been very well received and there is great interest among the students. The project will continue until the end of May 2016 and in the meantime the Machaqa Amawta Foundation continues its support for the most disadvantaged women, as well as other development projects in Bolivia.
