Become a "mejor amigo" and positively impact dozens of kids!

/ˈʝun.ta/•Sust.

Yunta means “friend” in Quechua, someone you trust and whom supports you.

Why CLUB YUNTA?

In Cochabamba:

  • 1 in 4 children lives below the poverty line (approximately $240 for a family of 4).
  • 1 in 6 children under the age of five suffers from chronic malnutrition.
  • 1 in 8 children lacks access to tap water.
  • 1 in 4 children lacks access to proper sanitation facilities.

The risk of poverty, chronic malnutrition, lack of access to clean water, and inadequate sanitation facilities in Cochabamba can have a negative impact on the health and physical and cognitive development of children.

That’s why Club Yunta is a program that seeks to ensure that every child has access to a healthy and fulfilling life, regardless of their economic circumstances.

What is CLUB YUNTA?

It’s simple!, Yunta is designed to maintain, strengthen, and grow the friendship, guidance, and support that we have developed with the kids of Champa Rancho, Cochabamba in Bolivia.

We have already achieved so much, but there is still so much to do.

How far we've come

Since 2016, START decided to take action and visit Champa Rancho to build a trust relationship with the community.

After months of interaction, we developed a project to increase access to hygiene and sanitation for more than 65 kids who lived in the community.

In a short time period, more than 200 volunteers joined the cause in order to provided a dignified shower, food, recreational activities, and educational workshops to the kids.

To support the vulnerable affected by the quarantine due to COVID-19, we delivered baskets with basic provisions.

Since 2016, our work at Champa Rancho has not stopped. Although we no longer provide the shower service, we still visit the community to create what we know best: Smiles!

This year, we launched CLUB YUNTA, a great opportunity to sponsor a kid and make this program sustainable and support its continuous growth.
