Local communities learn to resolve their conflicts peacefully.
Leaders of the Methodist Church and the community support those involved in finding peaceful solutions to conflicts. This is the case in communities where the Methodist Church has a parish.

Connexio develop supports projects in the education and agricultural sectors in Bolivia.
Bolivia is the country with the highest proportion of indigenous people and is also the poorest country in South America. Until two decades ago, the majority of the population lived from agriculture on the Altiplano, a high plateau at 4,000 meters above sea level.
Since then, the rural exodus in Bolivia has increased significantly. The urban population is growing rapidly; poverty and crime are on the rise. The indigenous population in particular, the Aymara and Quechua, has inadequate access to higher education institutions or political offices. Their schooling is poor and their prospects of finding a well-paid job are slim.

Camarico has around 700 inhabitants and is located just over 30 km north of Talca, the capital of the Maule region in Chile. It is a rural region with many small rivers, large areas of forest, livestock farming, vegetable and fruit cultivation and wine-growing areas. The majority of Camarico's population therefore works in agriculture, often as seasonal workers. As a result, many people live in precarious working conditions and are therefore particularly vulnerable.
The project currently looks after 70 children of different ages and nationalities, mainly children with Chilean mothers and Venezuelan or Haitian fathers.
Today, the Mapuche live relegated to limited areas and the struggle for resources and identity has increasingly led to conflicts.

This means that old people have to be cared for by their relatives. Those who have no one left often live in indescribable conditions, especially when they need care.
