Campaign 2010: BOLIVIA
Samuel
In 2010, Samuel is the main character of the new Broederlijk Delen campaign. He is a small farmer who lives with his family on the Bolivian high plain in the central Andes. Surviving in this rough area is not easy. Especially now that as a result of global warming the shortage of water increases. Growing food crops has become nearly impossible.
Samuel found a solution
Luckily Samuel doesn’t give up. Equipo Kallpa, one of Broederlijk Delen’s partner organizations, helped him develop an irrigation system, allowing him to produce food for himself and his family.
Why do we nominate Samuel?
There are a lot of small farmers like Samuel in the South. Despite global warming and decreasing harvests they keep the spirit and realize their own plans to protect their food production, their territories and their environment. That is exactly the reason why we nominate Samuel, and with him all our partner organizations, for the one prize that is missing in this world: the Nobel Prize for Sustainable Development. This symbolic prize is a tribute to all talent in the South and is part of a political action.

Is Congo undermining its future?
It seems that no other country on earth holds inexhaustible mineral riches like those found in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Zinc, copper, cobalt, uranium, gold and diamonds can be found there in enormous quantities. So where is the profit from these mineral resources going? The fact is, it goes to every corner of the world, with the exception of the Congolese people themselves. Poverty levels are maintained in Congo through inequitable economic structures. Broederlijk Delen is convinced that the international community, both government agencies and NGOs, will be pouring reconstruction funds for Congo into a bottomless pit, unless at the same time they seek to establish economic justice. On both national and international levels we are applying pressure to all actors involved in the development of the country.
