Our Mission
We are a private non-profit organization whose mission is to strengthen and revalue artisan culture. By carrying out research, dissemination and exchange projects, we seek to protect heritage and contribute to the social, economic and cultural development of their places of origin. Origin of the Foundation As a result of the pandemic, artisans in Chile were severely affected, a situation that until now has been difficult to reverse. Faced with this situation, in mid-2020, Domingo Arancibia (Architect); Francisco Bozinovic (Biologist and Ecologist) and Diego Kirberg (Agronomist) come together to create Fundación Ruta, an organization that works together with communities, the state and the private sector to provide them with a better quality of life. Crafts are a fundamental part of our heritage and culture and we must preserve it.
