Drop Your Items at Koko's Cafe for Distribution
Donating Items
Traveling to La Paz?
Have a little extra space?
Used or new donations are always appreciated by the local community.
When you arrive in La Paz, deliver your donations to Koko's Coffee Shop behind Marina de La Paz on Topete @ Encinas. The items will be delivered to Brazos de Amor, a non-profit foundation for children and their families. Their store is in San Pedro, which a small community on the outskirts of La Paz. The store serves San Pedro and many small outlying communities. Donations are either sold at a very low price or given away. All proceeds from sales go to buy food and sometimes medicine to help a family in need.
Here is an example of some items that are always needed, but anything used or new is appreciated.
