After 25 years of service to the Aymara people of the Altiplano in Bolivia, Quaker Bolivia Link in the United States (QBL-USA) has been laid down. The QBL Boards in Bolivia and the United Kingdom remain, and the U.S.-based work is now being overseen through United 4 Change Center (U4C) and Rotary International. U4C is a Houston, Tex.-based nonprofit that works with women and youth in vulnerable communities to create positive social change and promote social justice and peace. QBL’s Quaker response to poverty has been effective in providing food security, clean water, and economic empowerment for women over this quarter century, and the organization is grateful for U4C’s management of the current and future projects.
