Lonquimay Emergency: Giving Water Back to the Mapuche People Pehuenche
A cry from the heart from the field
Melipeuco, January 24, 2026 - "I have just returned from Lonquimay, and what I saw there is an injustice that cannot continue."
On 23 January, H.R.H. Prince Antoine V, Honorary President of the NGO Order of the South Star, visited the heart of the Pehuenche communities to see the scale of a silent humanitarian crisis.
Finding: 50 liters to survive
In Lonquimay, families survive on 50 litres of water per day per person. This is barely half the basic minimum recommended by international standards.
For seven years, the communal pump has been broken. For seven years, government promises have remained a dead letter. Communities depend on private tankers, delivering expensive, poor water quality.
Why this shortage?
It's not just a technical breakdown, it's the result of a century of spoliation:
- Environmental dégradation : The massive introduction of contorta and ponderosa pines (Decree No. 701) has dried up the soil.
- Historical injustice : The Pehuenches, ancestral guardians of the forests of Araucaria, are now deprived of the most basic resource: life.
Our Mission: Repairing the Lonquimay Pump
The objective is clear and immediate: to raise €50,000 to finance heavy repairs to pumping infrastructure and restore sustainable access to drinking water.
Your donation acts directly on :
Replacement of the faulty pumping system.
Securing supply for livestock watering and irrigation.
Food sovereignty of the Lonquimay communities.
I SUPPORT ACTION TO LONQUIMAY
Testimony of the field
"The lack of water paralyzes everything: health, education, agriculture. By helping to repair this pump, you are not just giving water, you are giving dignity to an entire people." Arnaud Brillet, President of the NGO Order of the South Star, on a mission to Lonquimay.
"The history of the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia is no longer written only in books, it is written today on the ground, alongside you. By sharing this page and supporting our actions in Lonquimay, you are breaking the silence on the Mapuche people and giving life to a diplomacy of concrete solidarity. Become an ambassador for this cause: every sharing, every donation, is an act of recognition for the dignity of Wallmapu. Together, let us transform the legitimacy of our Crown into lasting hope for future generations."

Supporting the Youth of Pehuenco: The Action of the Kingdom's NGO
Beyond borders and history, the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia is taking concrete action to meet the needs of the Mapuche-Pehuenche communities, combining modern education with ancestral preservation.
The Testimony of Prince Antoine V: A Field Commitment
During my recent mission to meet the community of Pehuenco, I was able to see the need for our presence there.
"In Pehuenco, I met a proud youth, heir to a thousand-year-old land but facing the challenges of modernity and isolation. My visit was not a simple observation, but an immersion to understand how our NGO Order of the South Star can act more effectively. I've seen children waiting for us to build their future without denying their roots. This bond that I have forged on the ground is the driving force behind our campaign: we don't just fund projects, we protect an identity."
Prince Antoine V, Honorary President of the NGO.
The NGO's priority missions
The Kingdom NGO focuses its efforts on three pillars of sustainable and cultural development for the Pehuenco community:
1. Identity Safeguarding: Mapudungun Course
Language is the foundation of cultural sovereignty. The NGO wants to fund Mapudungun learning programs for children, delivered by community sages (Kimches). We will provide the educational materials and logistics needed for this transmission.
2 International ambition: Education abroad
To ensure that the voice of Araucania is far removed, we want to accompany the most deserving students in their study abroad projects. The NGO will support mobility grants, enabling these young people to acquire international expertise for the benefit of their home community.
3 Winter Solidarity: Cohesion Activities
Winter in the Lonquimay region (especially near the Pino Hachado Road) is synonymous with extreme isolation. Our NGO wants to organize and finance educational and sporting winter activities, providing a structured and warm environment for children during the harshest months.
Your financial support is the guarantor of our independence and responsiveness on the ground. By making a donation, you are directly supporting the actions of the Kingdom's NGO.
Transparency note: As a human rights NGO, the Order of the South Star guarantees that 100% of the funds raised for this project will be used for technical work and direct assistance to Pehuenche communities.
