Over 14,000 children and adults will benefit from having a green Community Learning and Resource Center. This solar-powered facility will provide first-time access to computers and a library as well as space for community education. A model grey and black water system will be installed to teach water conversation techniques.

To make smart charitable donations, individuals must have access to information about the activities and finances of organizations. Chilean organizations lack the resources to be transparent, as they do not have the technical knowledge or capacity to publish their data. Donar provides a platform for those organizations, facilitating the donation process by connecting potential donors with projects in need. A donation to Donar is investing in future generations, helping Chileans help each other.
