About

Dr. Ramiro Narváez F., General Director HAI; Dr. Kevin Broyles, Director of HOPEww Bolivia; Padre Jose Neuenhofer, Founder of FAI and HAI

La Paz, Bolivia is home to 30,000 children that work and/or live on the streets. Fundacion Arco Iris (FAI) was created in 1994 by Father Jose Neuenhofer with a dream and a mission “to fulfill the basic needs of the homeless children”. The work of the foundation is impressive–extending from an excellent 100-bed hospital that serves the needs of the children pro bono to nine social units including orphanages and day care centers. There are also several vocational units which facilitate training and provide the children with marketable job skills.

In September 2011, HOPEworldwide (HWW) joined hearts with Arco Iris to embrace the mission. HOPEworldwide was established in 1991 with a vision to “bring hope and change to the lives of the world’s most poor, sick and suffering”, a vision that completely harmonizes with the mission of Arco Iris.

Join us as we “tell the story” of our passion and mission to change the history of Bolivia’s street children.

"One united heart for the service of the poor children of Bolivia"

      • Jorge,
        My name is John (an MR technologist) and I am a colleague of Kevins’. I just spoke to Kevin about you, it is exciting to hear from you for many reasons. We are just in the middle of trying to improve radiology, with a performance program, and we are also about to get an MR mobile unit. Your expertise is much needed. Can you email us with available times you would be willing to come? We need volunteers like yourself desperately. Thank you for your disposition to serve.
        -John
