Cemaipo

What Cemaipo does

Cemaipo is a non-profit corporate network (corporación) headquartered in Buin, in Chile's Metropolitan Region, that articulates relationships between private companies, educational institutions, municipalities, and local communities to drive sustainable territorial development in the Maipo province. Founded around 2005 and operating for over 20 years, it works in alliance with the municipalities of Buin, Paine, and Calera de Tango to deliver a portfolio of branded programs under the "Somos" umbrella: Red Técnica Maipo (technical-professional education and internships), Lectores Maipo (literacy and storytelling), Tutoría Maipo (vocational guidance mentorship), Medioambiente Maipo (environmental education), +Cultura Maipo (cultural visits to Museo Andino), and Comunidad Maipo (community initiatives), complemented by ProMaipo (corporate sustainability) and Red Factor Humano Maipo (HR professional network).

The organization is not a technology company: its "platform" is a relational and programmatic infrastructure comprising 53 member companies, 13 collaborating companies, 43 allied organizations, roughly 200 trained volunteer "Maestros Guías," and partnerships with school sostenedores across 40 educational establishments. Service delivery occurs in-person at schools, member company facilities, Bioparque Buinzoo, and Museo Andino at Viña Santa Rita. Cemaipo does not sell a commercial product; it is sustained by recurring member-company contributions and in-kind support from partners such as Fundación Irarrázaval, the CPC-led Empresas X Chile campaign, and government programs like the Fondo de Mejoramiento Integral de Museos. The beneficiary base reached 8,964 children and youth in 2025 across 40 educational establishments, with 394 volunteers delivering 40,252 community hours, and the organization is staffed by a small core team of nine employees led by Executive Director Paulina Moreno and President Isabel Marcet.
