Texas Partners of the Americas hasn't added a story.
Texas- Bolivia COVID-19 Relief Fund:
According to Johns Hopkins CSSE data from September 19, 2020, Bolivia has 130,051 positive cases of COVID-19 and 7,550 deaths. Thus, ranking Bolivia as the 27th country worldwide and as the 5th country in South America to have the highest number of COVID-19 cases.
The Texas-Bolivia chapters of Partners of the Americas are organizing this relief fund in solidarity with Bolivians because there is a current lack of materials and resources—as the positive cases of COVID-19 continue to increase there is a consistent shortage of medications, lack of adequate oxygen respirators for Bolivia’s altitude, lack of essential PPE equipment, among other essentials that Bolivians are in dire need of to stay safe during these times.
Through this relief fund, we will provide local relief to Bolivian communities in the cities of La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, and Beni. We cannot do this work alone—we need your support!
Who we are:
Texas Chapter of Partners of the Americas (TPOA):
TPOA is a role model non-profit organization dedicated to connecting, serving and changing lives in order to realize the full potential of the people in the Americas. We empower communities and individuals via transfer of knowledge and skills, while upholding their cultural values.
Our goal is to raise
at least $200,000
and it will be used to help cover:
- Medications;
- Oxygen respirators;
- Personal Protective Equipment;
- Transportation costs;
- Sending non-perishable food;
- Fire fighters equipment;
- Etc.
Being on the ground and talking to our community members directly, we have been able to identify what the needs are. In the midst of COVID-19, Bolivia is also fighting major forest fires in the tropical savannas of the Chiquitania regions in the eastern region of Bolivia.
We know there are many needs as families who do not have adequate health care, access to medications even from private pharmacies, and that doctors do not have the oxygen respirators they need or the personal protection equipment to properly care for patients who have the coronavirus.
How will we manage the funds transparently and responsibly?
All donations are to be sent to the official bank account of the Texas Chapter of Partners of the Americas to Iliana Queirolo de Diaz, President. We will keep track of all of the receipts from all of the medications, oxygen respirators, PPE equipment, etc. that we purchase as well as show pictures of the actual items pre, during, and post distribution. Additionally, we will complete an official final report, detailing the items we were able to purchase, who they were distributed, and how many people they were able to impact.
Please share, donate, and spread the word with your friends and family—we need as much support as possible!
Also, please feel free to reach out to us directly at txboliviacovid19@gmail.com if you have any questions! Muchas gracias, Thank you so much!
With gratitude and hope,
Texas Chapter of Partners of the Americas

En Español:
Fondo de ayuda COVID-19 para Bolivia:
Según datos de Johns Hopkins CSSE del 19 de septiembre de 2020, Bolivia tiene 130.051 casos positivos de COVID-19 y 7.550 muertes. De esta forma, Bolivia se ubica como el 27º país a nivel mundial y el 5º país de América del Sur en tener el mayor número de casos de COVID-19.
Estamos organizando este fondo de ayuda en solidaridad con los bolivianos porque actualmente hay una falta de materiales y recursos; a medida que los casos positivos de COVID-19 continúan aumentando, hay una escasez constante de medicamentos, falta de respiradores de oxígeno adecuados para la altitud de Bolivia, falta de equipo PPE esencial, entre otros elementos esenciales que los bolivianos necesitan urgentemente para mantenerse seguros durante estos tiempos.
A través de este fondo de ayuda, brindaremos ayuda local a las comunidades bolivianas en las ciudades de La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz y Beni. No podemos hacer este trabajo solos, ¡necesitamos tu apoyo!
¿Quienes somos?:
Capítulo de Texas de Partners of the Américas (TPOA):
TPOA es una organización modelo sin fines de lucro con el estatus de 501 C(3), dedicada a conectar, servir y cambiar vidas con el fin de realizar todo el potencial de las personas en las Américas. Empoderamos a las comunidades y las personas mediante la transferencia de conocimientos y habilidades, al tiempo que defendemos sus valores culturales.
Nuestro objetivo es recaudar al menos $200.000 USD y se utilizará para ayudar a cubrir:
- Medicamentos;
- Respiradores de oxígeno;
- Equipo de protección personal;
- Costos de transporte;
- Envío de alimentos no perecederos;
- Equipo de bomberos;
- Etc.
Hemos hablando directamente con los miembros de nuestra comunidad y hemos podido identificar cuáles son las necesidades. En medio del COVID-19, sabemos que Bolivia también está combatiendo importantes incendios forestales en las sabanas tropicales de las regiones de Chiquitania en la región oriental de Bolivia.
Sabemos que existen muchas necesidades y que muchas familias que no cuentan con la atención médica adecuada, acceso a medicamentos incluso en farmacias privadas, y que los médicos no cuentan con los respiradores de oxígeno que necesitan o el equipo de PPE para atender adecuadamente a los pacientes con el coronavirus.
¿Cómo administraremos los fondos de una manera transparente y responsable?
Todas las donaciones deben enviarse a través del link el cual llegara directamente a la cuenta bancaria oficial del Capítulo de Texas de Partners of the Americas a Iliana Queirolo de Diaz, Presidenta del Capítulo. Realizaremos un seguimiento de todos los recibos de todos los medicamentos, respiradores de oxígeno, equipo de protección personal etc. que compramos, además de mostrar imágenes de los artículos reales antes, durante y después de la distribución. Además, completaremos un informe final oficial, detallando los artículos que pudimos comprar, a quiénes se distribuyeron y cuántas personas fueron impactadas a través de este apoyo.
Por favor compartan este link y donen con sus amigos y familiares. ¡Necesitamos todo el apoyo posible!
No duden en comunicarse con nosotros directamente por e-mail: txboliviacovid19@gmail.com si tienen alguna pregunta. ¡Muchas gracias, thank you!
Con gratitud y esperanza,
