The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has installed the first Giving Machine kiosks ever in South America, with locations in Santiago, Chile, and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The kiosks will also be available in São Paulo, Brazil, later this month.

The donations inside the machines will support three Chilean foundations:

  • COANIQUEM (Corporación de Ayuda al Niño Quemado), which provides free rehabilitation for children and adolescents with burns.
  • Fundación Gantz, which treats children with cleft lip and cleft palate.
  • Fundación Deportistas por un Sueño, which supports children with complex or terminal illnesses and their families.

And four Argentine foundations:

  • CILSA (Centro de Integración Libre y Solidario de Argentina), which supports and educates people with disabilities.
  • FANDA (Fundación de Ayuda al Niño con Discapacidad Auditiva), which provides treatment for children with hearing loss.
  • Ricardo Gutiérrez Children’s Hospital
  • Amigos en el Camino, which assists people experiencing homelessness.
