Casa Nahuel
We've helped over
345,000 people
In 2016, “Fundación Nahuel” embarked on a path towards self-sustainability.
This transition, although challenging, marked a significant step towards securing long-term support for our programs.
A key milestone in this journey was the acquisition of a
19-hectare sugarcane farm in 2021 “Casa Nahuel”, a strategic move to generate ongoing income to support our initiatives.

Some People Behind the Impact
At Fundación Nahuel, we are proud to be a multidisciplinary team, where each member contributes in unique and meaningful ways to achieve our shared mission of empowering children, youth, and communities in Ecuador.
We operate with a project-oriented approach, rather than a traditional hierarchical structure, ensuring that every initiative is driven by collaboration, creativity, and a shared commitment to making a difference.
Beyond our core team, we are supported by an incredible network of individuals and institutions who work with us directly or indirectly. These partners, volunteers, and supporters are vital to the success of our projects, and we are deeply grateful for their contributions.

Nahuel Association
The Nahuel Association was established in Switzerland in 2024 with a noble purpose: to ensure sustainable funding for the Fundación Nahuel in Ecuador. This strategic move was designed to create a robust support system for the foundation’s vital work. The association’s primary objective is to support and finance charitable projects undertaken by the Fundación Nahuel in Quito, Ecuador. Its focus areas include education, health, and social integration, with a particular emphasis on improving the living conditions of disadvantaged and needy individuals, especially children and youth.
Operating on a strictly non-profit basis, the Nahuel Association is committed to philanthropic endeavors and does not pursue any commercial or self-serving goals. All members of the association’s governing bodies serve on a voluntary basis, ensuring that every franc raised goes directly towards charitable purposes. This dedication to transparency and efficiency is reflected in the association’s official registration with the Swiss authorities, which can be verified under the registration number CHE-250.058.824.
For those interested in learning more about the Nahuel Association’s legal status and registration details, further information is available on the official Swiss commercial register website.
