SNKP Bolivia

Our aims
The SNKP-Bolivia (the abbreviation, in Dutch, stands for the "foundation for a network of small projects in Bolivia") is a non-profit organization, whose main goal it is to create opportunities in education in Bolivia for people who would not have had these opportunities otherwise.

Study group Ñaupaqman - scholarship
One of our longest running projects is the study group Ñaupaqman. The SNKP supports students in Bolivia, whose situation would not allow them to study otherwise, to get an education. In return the students organize activities in orphanages twice a month. Since its start in 1994, over 100 students have been part of Ñaupaqman. Often, they were the first in their family to study.

Training program
We developed a training program for teachers working with students in primary and secondary (high) school. Wisllita, an organization that provides food and tutoring for underprivileged students from 4 till 16 years in La Paz, helps organizing the training program for teachers in La Paz. The program resulted in a book called Guía de la Didáctica de la Comunicación (in Spanish). The teachers of the Marianne Forstig school (see below) use the training program too. Together with students from Ñaupaqman, they coordinate trainings for teachers in the area of Cochabamba.
