Rodelillo was founded in Santiago, Chile, in 1987 by Macarena Currín Letelier and a group of 350 families in conditions of social vulnerability. In 1988 a small group of Chilean executives and owner companies formed a Board of Directors. Over its 30-year history, Rodelillo Foundation has developed a unique methodology of psycho-social companionship by means of which very poor Chilean families who are determined to overcome the conditions of poverty are helped to actually do so, in accordance with the particular plan which each family chooses for itself.
