Many sponsor sites in Bolivia are located in Cochabamba, a large city and the agricultural hub of Bolivia. It has a prosperous side and a much underserved side - and the disparity is significant. One of the biggest challenges in Bolivia is to keep kids in school instead of going to find work to help their family. From as young as nine, girls will start to drift away to help their mothers sell products in the market, while boys will find work minding parking lots. Chalice focuses on after-school programs, which are effective for a number of reasons: students can get extra help and keep their grades up; they can receive a healthy meal; and they are safe from negative influences, especially drugs. Chalice sites in Bolivia:
