Andorra Funds €9,000 Training for 108 Bolivian Girls Escaping Abuse

Andorra's government has allocated €9,000 to Cooperand amb Llatinoamèrica to fund technical and professional training for 108 girls at the Hogar Casa Main shelter in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.

The project targets residents who have endured abandonment, domestic violence, or sexual violence, leaving them highly vulnerable. The shelter cannot accommodate them after they turn 18, making job-ready skills critical for stable employment and reducing the chances of returning to abusive or precarious conditions.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials highlighted the initiative's role in equipping the girls with basic professional training to enter the workforce independently. The Andorra-based organisation focuses on promoting its projects and raising awareness about risks to vulnerable children, adolescents, and women.

This funding aligns with the government's international development cooperation programs, as outlined in the 2026 Master Plan for Sustainable International Development Cooperation, which defines priorities and budget allocations.
