Chalice has been serving children and elders in Chile since 1996. We work in the large cities of Santiago and Arica. Chalice is a somewhat unique non-profit in Chile because we have been able to retain our Catholic identity through our partnerships with local religious organizations. Through the support of sponsors and donors, Chalice and our local partners focus on ensuring all children complete their primary and secondary education. 

In the communities where Chalice works, there are high populations of migrant workers from neighbouring countries who have been attracted to Chile’s growing economy.  Unfortunately, these families frequently do not succeed in finding work and struggle with poverty. Chalice provides opportunities for parents (including migrants) to find work or begin their own income-generating projects.
