LEARN MORE ABOUT NGO Toki

Since 2012 we have taught violin, piano, cello, ukulele and traditional disciplines, in addition to having the first Rapa Nui children and youth orchestra.

We built the first totally self-sustainable School of Music in Latin America and Oceania and we are working arduously to promote environmental education and change.

We promote a comprehensive education for our children and young people, where we protect them from social violations, giving them creative tools to express their emotions, educating them in environmental care and urging them to deeply value their endangered culture and language

OUR OBJECTIVESProtect the Rapa Nui Cultural Legacy

Toki is a non-profit organization whose MISSION is to actively stimulate and transmit the Rapanui cosmo vision in an active and participative way in distinct areas of development through a Center of Integral Development which contributes to the empowerment of the Rapanui society with a focus on community and sustainability, and all with the help of a multi-disciplined team of local professionals and the collaboration of specialists from Chile and abroad.

We envision our NGO as an organization that finds answers to the needs and realities of our island, using both ancestral wisdom and new technology and always considering sustainable development. We seek to develop a model of integral formation that becomes a referent on a local, national, and international level to rescue the patrimony, aid the community, and cultivate a society based on respect and harmony.

Respect for the culture and idiosyncrasies and the diversity of the people who work with us, understanding and helping humans to become integral beings
The integration of family and community
Excellence in teaching and work done
