In-Country Partner

The comprehensive leadership development training in Bolivia rose out of ICUUW's 2015 Gathering. The Bolivian organizing team was made up of Unitarians and liberal religious women from La Paz (the Bolivian capital) and surroundings. Project leader Calixta Choque attended ICUUW’s Gathering in Bolivia in 2015.

Leadership Development (2019-2021)

A pilot leadership training program in Bolivia – identified as a key need at ICUUW's 2015 Gathering – was implemented in 2019 thanks to the generous support of people who contributed on Faithify. The campaign raised approximately $2,500 to enable marginalized Bolivian women in District 7 of Viacha (near La Paz) to become a powerful force for change in their families and communities by building income-generating and leadership skills as well as developing capacities for long-term success.

“Semillas de Poder” – Seeds of Power comes from an old Mexican proverb that translates “They tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we were seeds.” This aptly describes the resilience and determination of the 60 women from around the world who attended IWC’s four-day Gathering in the Yungas region of Bolivia, November 12-15, 2015, on the invitation of Olga Flores Bedregal, a human rights activist and leader of a small UU community in La Paz.

The Gathering's theme was Women, the Earth, Climate Change, and Spirituality. The proceedings were delivered in two languages, Spanish and English, aided by two professional translators. Empowerment of women was a recurring theme, along with the determination to fight the devastation of climate change and the promise to stay connected in order to meet those challenges.
