Global Partnerships invites you to travel with us to Latin America and experience firsthand how microfinance changes lives. Our next PartnerTrip is to Bolivia, from April 30 to May 9, 2010.
In the central highland town of Cochabamba, we will meet clients of FUBODE, a microfinance institution (MFI) serving 15,000 people and providing village banking to some of Bolivia's neediest populations in several rural areas. We will then travel to La Paz to spend time with Pro Mujer in Bolivia, a MFI focused on serving women and integrating microfinance with health training and services. Our journey will include time to take in the breathtaking beauty and rich culture of this country, including an overnight to Copacabana on the shores of Lake Titicaca, where we will visit the legendary Island of the Sun.
Led by a Global Partnerships staff member and local hosts, we'll visit the homes and businesses of microentrepreneurs, observe their crafts, and talk with them about their struggles and successes--all the while gaining a deeper appreciation of the day-to-day reality in which they live.

To learn more about PartnerTrips:
Background on PartnerTrips: Since 1994, Global Partnerships has been escorting travelers to Latin America and currently offers PartnerTrips twice a year to Bolivia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Peru.
Designed for donors who have made or who are considering making a personally significant gift to Global Partnerships,
our PartnerTrips provide an authentic encounter with entrepreneurs who are improving their lives with the help of microfinance.
In both rural and urban settings, we will take you off the beaten path to see our in-country partners at work and meet the leadership of these organizations. You will also witness the innovative ways our partners target the root causes of poverty as they demonstrate the financial and social services we help them deliver. Throughout the journey you will gain a unique understanding of the cultures, people and landscapes of these beautiful countries.
