say they are dealing with addictions, physical disabilities and/ or mental illness.

Strands of action
To face this issue, we have developed a method, unique in Latin America, which has already helped more than 1000 homeless people get back to their feet by facilitating their access to the work world.
We are a not-for-profit organisation founded in 2011 by professionals from different fields. We work collaboratively with other organisations to provide effective ongoing support.
We get in contact with employers to help homeless people find a job. We provide ongoing support to employees as well as employers.
Our supportive services follow each case individually, before, during and after finding the job
We produce and market products and services. These not only generate incomes for Multipolar service users, but also help sustain our organisation.
We produce high quality goods, business gifts, and unique experiences to raise awareness on the potential of giving opportunities.
Due to our systematic method and our belief that a multi-stakeholder approach is required to end homelessness, we work to make this issue part of the agenda.
We mainly focus on public policies. Our aim is to ensure homeless people’s rights get respected.
Public reporting
As we are a Foundation, our incomes and expenses are reported publicly which shows the transparency of our work
Our team is made up of more than 20 people who work together with love, empathy and devotion for our service users and projects.
