Most Common Use Cases — Bolivian Crowdfunding from Europe

🏥 Medical Emergencies in Bolivia

Bolivia's public healthcare system has significant limitations for costly treatments: oncological surgeries, kidney dialysis, cardiac interventions. The Bolivian diaspora in Europe quickly mobilizes funds through SAPEO to cover these urgent expenses.

Average amount raised in a successful medical campaign: €1,000 – €10,000

⚰️ Repatriation and Funeral Costs

The death of a Bolivian in Europe often requires the family to organize repatriation of the body to Bolivia, costing between €3,000 and €8,000. SAPEO allows launching a campaign in minutes and receiving donations from the entire Bolivian community in Europe.

🎓 Studies and Training in Europe

Young Bolivians wishing to study in France, Belgium or Spain use SAPEO to raise the funds needed for flights, first month's rent and visa fees.

🌍 Humanitarian and Community Projects in Bolivia

Bolivian associations in France and Belgium fund projects in Bolivia via SAPEO: installing water pumps in rural Altiplano communities, purchasing school supplies, supporting victims of natural disasters.
