Supporting students and growing leaders in Latin America
Our vision: We dream of university students and leaders transformed by the work of God whose needs are satisfied holistically, while becoming leaders of integrity.
Our mission: We respond to the supreme call of God, accompanying university students and leaders, bringing them light and hope, satisfying their spiritual, emotional, social and economic needs.
Working with local communities in Bolivia
Since El Alfarero was founded in 2001, thousands of students and leaders have been impacted through our work. We currently have centres in the three Bolivian cities of Sucre, Santa Cruz, and La Paz.
We offer a range of services to meet student's needs holistically, including a cafe, counselling services, and a university residence. Courses and events help the projects sustain themselves financially.

Preparing leaders for international impact
Through El Alfarero International, we run several programmes to equip leaders to have an impact in areas they are passionate about.

Thinkific - Online Courses
Help us to keep making an impact
We support university students and leaders as they experience God's transformational work in their lives - but we can't do that unless we are supported financially as an organisation.
Your generosity can help us to keep making an impact on the lives of those we serve. If you are able to, please consider donating to allow El Alfarero to continue doing God's work in Bolivia and beyond.
The journey of El Alfarero
El Alfarero began in the city of Sucre in the year 2001. Since that time, thousands of students and leaders have been impacted through the services that El Alfarero offers.
In Sucre, the project is now held in great esteem by the students, the churches and the authorities of the city.
Santa Cruz is the second El Alfarero project and has been functioning since 2013, while El Alfarero La Paz opened in 2021. All three projects offer the same range of services, to meet the needs of students holistically.
Through El Alfarero Coordinator, we supervise and support local El Alfarero centres, and we run a professional Master's programme to train leaders in many different spheres.
