BOLIVIA
Community Care
Faith • Healing • Service • Together
Healing. Hope. The Love of Christ.
The Bolivia Community Care Mission brings together healthcare, community outreach, and spiritual service in partnership
with the St. Mary & St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Through this partnership, CMANA volunteers have the opportunity to serve communities throughout the Santa Cruz region with compassion, dignity, and love.
Together, we bring care to where it is needed most – while building relationships with patients, families, local healthcare professionals, and the Church.
Serving the Whole Community
Community care in Bolivia is about meeting people where they are. Our teams provide medical and dental care while also offering health education, disease prevention, and community outreach.
By bringing together volunteers from different backgrounds and areas of expertise, we are able to respond to a wide range of needs and create a mission experience centered on service, connection, and compassion.
Care Beyond the Clinic
Our work in Bolivia extends beyond providing medical and dental care. Volunteers spend time with patients and families, visit local orphanages, and participate in activities that allow us to connect with the community on a deeper level.
These moments are an important part of the mission, reminding us that service is not only about the care we provide, but also about the relationships we build.
Serving Through Faith
As a Coptic Christian healthcare organization, spiritual service is an integral part of the Bolivia mission. In partnership with the local Church, volunteers have opportunities for prayer, fellowship, and spiritual ministry throughout the mission.
We seek to serve the whole person, body, mind, and spirit, while sharing the love of Christ through both our words and our actions.
Medical & Dental Care
At the heart of the mission is the opportunity to bring much-needed medical and dental care to communities with limited access to healthcare. Our volunteer teams provide compassionate care, medications, dental procedures, and health education while working alongside local partners who understand the needs of their communities.
A Mission That Reaches Beyond One Week
Every mission trip is part of a larger commitment to Bolivia. Over time, CMANA’s partnership has supported not only direct patient care, but also initiatives that strengthen healthcare and community infrastructure.
Investments in resources such as the Pope Shenouda Clinic, medical equipment, transportation, and support for children reflect our desire to create an impact that continues long after our teams return home.

Growing Together
The Bolivia mission is made possible through the continued partnership between CMANA, the local Coptic Orthodox Church, and the communities we serve. With each visit, we have the opportunity to deepen these relationships, better understand local needs, and continue building a ministry centered on healing, hope, and love.
Who Can Serve?
The Bolivia Community Care Mission brings together a diverse team of healthcare professionals, students, and servants. While our clinical teams bring expertise across a range of specialties, there is a place for everyone who wants to serve.
Healthcare professionals and residents, healthcare students, other students, non-healthcare servants, and student servants under 18 can all play a meaningful role in the mission. Whether providing care, supporting the team, connecting with the community, or simply being present, every volunteer brings something valuable to the work.
Our multidisciplinary healthcare teams include dentistry, gynecology, nutrition, optometry, pediatrics, pharmacy, physical therapy, and primary care, allowing us to respond to a broad range of health needs throughout the community.
Our Impact Over Time
A Commitment That Extends Beyond the Mission
Our commitment to Bolivia extends far beyond the days our teams are on the ground. Through the years, CMANA has invested in initiatives that support healthcare, community development, transportation, and the well-being of children and families.
2025 Mission Impact
Three Missions. One Community. Hundreds Served.
In 2025, CMANA continued its commitment to Bolivia through three Community Care Missions, serving alongside the local Coptic Orthodox Church throughout the Santa Cruz region.
Across these missions, volunteers provided medical and dental care, distributed medications, and served individuals and families who came seeking care.

And the Impact Goes Beyond the Numbers
Every patient represents a person who was welcomed, heard, and cared for. Every visit to an orphanage represents an opportunity to share joy and encouragement. And every day spent alongside our partners in Bolivia strengthens a relationship that allows this ministry to continue growing.
This is community care in action – serving through healthcare, faith, and the simple gift of being present.
