In December 2025, the Espejo river near to El Torno, a short distance from Santa Cruz, burst its banks following extremely heavy rainfall. The resulting torrent of water washed away people and buildings. There have been 20 fatalities, with hundreds more who have lost homes and livelihoods.
While the waters have subsided, clearing up the destruction left behind and rebuilding is a slow process.
R Mission Bolivia, Feed The Hungry’s partner in Bolivia, have been working to help clear houses and land, digging away sand and silt that has been deposited by the flood waters.
Feed The Hungry is raising money to help R Mission Bolivia to respond to this crisis by providing food and water, and longer-term, bricks and construction materials to help rebuild people’s homes.
