Available Projects

We currently do not have new projects available.  Please check back soon!

In January, 2009, our Executive Director, David Stephenson, met with the President of Bolivia: Evo Morales. President Morales stated that EIA had gained the trust of the Bolivian people. Evo asked David if EIA would concentrate any new projects on the 35 poorest (out of 350)  Municipalities (counties) in the poorest country of South America: Bolivia. The “Poorest of the Poor”.

In these Municipalities, at least 98% of the population lives on less than $2/day. There is no potable water, sanitation or electricity. And in virtually all of these Municipalities, there are no foreign NGO’s working.

EIA now looks for new projects would be in one or more of those “Poorest of the Poor” Municipalities.

We do not anticipate adding any new projects until mid-2012.  Please check back again soon if you are interested in working with us!
