Chile is the base of the organization and the country where we have had the most success in fighting extreme poverty. Un Techo para Chile started in 1997 and since then has worked non-stop to help families living in slums; UTPMP’s three-phase model was born from mutual collaboration with these families.
Our goal for 2010 is to eradicate slums in Chile. In order to reach this goal, more than 20,000 youth volunteers participate every year in the construction of transitional houses, and more than 3,500 volunteer on a permanent basis with community meetings and social inclusion programs.
Chile is also the home to UTPMP’s headquarters in Santiago, where more than 120 young professionals coordinate the organization’s work in all countries, as well as working in areas such as communications and marketing, fund-raising, legal areas, and administration.
