Our projects

For generations, the Patiño Foundation has worked to build a stronger and more united Bolivia. Through our projects in education, paediatric health, agroecology and culture, we pass on valuable knowledge, innovate to address today’s challenges, and create lasting impact within local communities. Together, we carry forward a mission of transmission, renewal and excellence.

Our Scholarships

To brilliant students, to those who multiply talent—Bolivia is grateful. To refine one’s mastery, reflect on one’s path, cultivate charisma, claim the gift of the mind and offer it back to the country as a return to origins. Elective affinity comes at the cost—and height—of merit and meaning. No eminence without exchange, no genius without rigor, no lasting grace without a legacy: abundant, renewed.
