Areas of Work

Traditional Mapuche Textile Development

This area of work allows for a permanent improvement of production. It's based on four different lines of work:

1. Training: The constant redistribution of knowledge amongst communities associated with us and those that are not.
2. Micro-credit: We offer wool of excellent quality and yield proportion.
3. Technical Assistance: This is a professional commitment to follow up on the training and production process.
4. Innovation & Quality Levels: We are committed to the maintenance and improvement in the quality and excellence of the products and the production process.

Commercial Fair Trade Partnership

We have a commercial structure based on Fair Trade standards. It acts, therefore, as a non-profit intermediary who is interested in promoting dignity and improved working conditions for rural, Mapuche weavers. This area aims at promoting the products' access to national and international markets. We are a member of the International Fair Trade Federation - IFAT.

Productive Initiatives

With more than 30 years of experience with various productive initiatives, we are currently focusing this area of support on the production and commercialization of Medicinal Plants with two community groups from the Ninth region.

Resources Development

As a non-profit and independent organization, we count on the following jeans to mobilize resources:

1. Grants writing and funding research.
2. Communications and Promotion.
3. Volunteers: Without financial remuneration, the volunteers lend their experience and knowledge to the fulfillment of the foundation's projects.
4. Community Services: Different services are available such as Weaving-Learning Internships and Courses, as well as a Social Tourism Initiative.
