Business Growth

A special thanks goes out to Carlisle & Company for allowing us to pick the brain of consultant Samuel Frank! Samuel joined us in Cochabamba for 3 weeks in November and provided pro-bono consulting for IOU’s supporting businesses, including Bolivia’s Best Coffee and hardwood flooring exportation. His hard work and insight were a great asset to IOU and helped to streamline our communications and give “backbones” to many of our ideas.
His passion, enthusiasm, and friendship will be missed, but we are confident he will be back! Thanks for using your gifts for IOU, Samuel!

We are also excited about the opportunity for exporting high-end wood flooring as another means of supporting IOU. Cochabamba is home to Jolyka, a company that sells exotic wood flooring. Jolyka has their FSC certification, a difficult “Green” certification to obtain and the only flooring company in Bolivia to boast this title. If you know someone in the flooring business or custom home-building business, we would love to connect with them and talk about an opportunity to sell high-quality wood flooring at a great price and help the children of Bolivia. Jolyka has graciously offered to allow us to export the wood at cost to benefit out mission.

We are blessed to have termendous support for Bolivia's Best Coffee, opportunities with Jolyka flooring, and childrens' lives that these businesses have the opportunity to touch. Our deepest appreciation to all those who donate their time, talents, and networks to help further the businesses that support His work in Bolivia!
