The Give Back Chile Story
Give Back Chile is a purpose-driven social enterprise, with a firm belief that sharing environmental knowledge has a positive impact on the way we live. Our story began when Chilean-born Francisca arrived in Australia. She was immediately blown away by the sustainability initiatives and eco-friendly way of life. With that, she saw an opportunity: By offering purposeful travel and environmental education, she could transfer this valuable knowledge to Chile. And by making this knowledge simple, practical and exciting – the benefits will flow through Chile and Australia.

A very interesting and entertaining course where you learn all you need to know to start your own composting system at home. Francisca knows a lot and is very generous with her knowledge. Can´t wait to do more courses with Give Back Chile!

The Composting course and contents are very clear. Francisca shares her personal experience with participants and uses a lot of demonstration exercises to engage participants and empower them to begin their own composting systems at home.
