End generational poverty
Ancestral wisdom & applied science serving Bolivia.
Founded and led by Aymara educator Sharoll Fernandez Siñani, Zera Bolivia equips children and families with the practical knowledge, emotional intelligence, and critical thinking that turn disadvantages into opportunity
Our Mission
Our mission is to end those injustices—permanently—by fusing culturally grounded learning with evidence-based tools for social mobility.
What Makes Us Different
Mobility-Focused Knowledge
History that reveals power, finance that builds assets, and digital skills that open markets—practical tools to exit the poverty cycle.
Emotional Intelligence
Recognising and regulating emotions turns reaction into compassionate leadership and nurtures the resilience that sustains wise decisions and healthy relationships.
Critical & Communal Thinking
Better questions, bias detection, and co-creating solutions build collective trust and drive systemic change guided by many voices.
Together, these strands create social intelligence for justice—the capacity to transform one life, then many.

Why Indigenous-Led Matters
When an Aymara woman leads an education foundation, it reverses the historic flow of decision-making power.
Decision‑making rests entirely with Indigenous Bolivians—across our board, staff, and community partners—while foreign allies support without steering, keeping knowledge and resources firmly in Bolivian hands.
This structural choice alone disrupts colonial patterns—and every child who learns with us sees that transformation in real time.
