About This Cause
DESAFIO LEVANTEMOS CHILE (CHALLENGE REBUILD CHILE) was founded in February 2010, when Chile was rattled by one of the strongest earthquakes and tsunamis in history. DESAFIO's founder, Felipe Cubillos, found a higher calling. Due to the catastrophic magnitude of the earthquake and tsunami, he tapped his business contacts around the world and focused his organization on aiding in his country's reconstruction. The first project, completed 20 days after the tsunami, was to build a school for 150 children in Iloca. Over the next 40 days, the organization built 17 more schools. Preschools and low-income houses followed, as did assistance to fishermen to repair their boats. In less than a year after the disaster, it was clear that Felipe's management model could be replicated in other areas. Today, DESAFIO and a team of more than 800 enthusiastic volunteers continue this mission to reach people in need and provide guidance in the form of capital, training and contacts. DESAFIO serves as a bridge between the people who need help and those who can provide it. DESAFIO listens and provides the know-how for communities to build based on their needs.
