 MAPU Association is a young non-profit, founded in Madrid, Spain, in April 2006. MAPU Association supports and strives to ensure the local communities’ self determination, the protection of human and environmental rights, and the promotion of a fairer relationship between Argentinean and Chilean Patagonia in particular and all the Southern regions in general, with the Northern dominant countries.
Accordingly, MAPU Association bases its activities in the organization, coordination and sponsorship of social development projects in Patagonia, both in Argentina and Chile. In Spain, MAPU Association has its base in Madrid and in Argentina in Esquel, Chubut. The Board of the association is composed of people from different countries: Argentina, Spain and Germany. All the activities and tasks carried out to promote the projects of the association are voluntary and ad honorem.

Furthermore, MAPU Association is completely independent of any government, religious creed, political doctrine, or economic links. MAPU Association
