Frequently Asked Questions

  • Dialysis is a life-saving medical treatment that performs the function of the kidneys when they are no longer able to work properly. It removes waste, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood. Patients with kidney failure typically require dialysis multiple times per week in order to survive.

  • Access to dialysis in Bolivia is limited and often unaffordable for many families. Clinics may lack sufficient equipment, supplies, and funding to meet the growing need. Without consistent treatment, patients face serious health complications and, in many cases, loss of life. BDAL helps bridge this gap by providing financial support, equipment, and resources.

  • There are several meaningful ways to support our mission:

    • Donate: Financial contributions help fund dialysis treatments, medications, and supplies

    • Attend events: Participate in fundraising events that support our cause

    • Spread awareness: Share our mission with your network and community

    Every contribution, big or small, makes a difference.
