Why “Los Coipos” village?
• Los Coipos is one of the many small rural communities in Hualañe, part of the Maule Region, in the interior of the country that find themselves isolated, and receive little help from the government and major aid organizations.
• The local muncipality of Hualañé has scarce resources and a large number of earthquake victims.
