Proyecto Horizonte is a non-profit organization located in the community of Ushpa-Ushpa in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The project was founded in 2004 by Christian Ruehmer and Osvaldo Castro with the mission of fighting poverty and improving human development. Since its establishment Proyecto Horizonte has grown to include a nursery, a school, a health center, microfinance and microenterprise initiatives, a women's support group, an artisan's group, and more. It continues to seek out new ways of investing in the community and welcomes your support!

Proyecto Horizonte Ushpa-Ushpa (Sociedad San Vicente de Paúl) is passionate about giving the people, especially the children, a chance to further their horizons through education, support and community development.

Our vision is to provide a well-structured base for sustainable development and act as a blueprint for other projects demonstrating the efficiency and success of a privately managed and organized initiative.

We believe in the people of Mineros San Juan, Ushpa-Ushpa and their ability to develop towards a middle class community, and with our help become a model for other projects faced with the same challenges.
