Simón I. Patiño created his foundation in 1931 and it was enlarged by his children in 1958. The Foundation operates from 12 Centres of excellence throughout Bolivia and 3 main activities in Geneva, Switzerland. Our work focuses on the people’s lives within Bolivia and covers: education, culture, research, health, nutrition, agriculture and ecology.
The foundation also offers a series of full annual scholarships to support students throughout Switzerland, Europe, Bolivia and Costa Rica.
