Lustrabotas, or shoe shiners, can be found by the thousands in the streets of La Paz, Bolivia. Jaime Villalobos is creating opportunities to lift young men and boys out of this profession, often marked by shame, and into a stable career that they can be proud of.

As a civic leader, Jaime is committed to empowering marginalized people and alleviating poverty through his NGO, Hormigón Armado. Bolivian youth are no strangers to unemployment, sexual violence, and poor living conditions, but Jaime’s work advocates for consistent economic opportunities as a new normal.
