Due to the measures taken by Peruvian authorities in relation to the Coronavirus (COVID-19); We have decided to suspend all group activities of our students until further notice.
However, thanks to the unique format of our Focus app, which enables literacy through self-learning, our participants will be able to continue learning from the comfort of their homes. We encourage everyone to follow the recommendations concerning hygiene and to practise social distancing.
Dispurse Foundation is proud to announce that 10 women have successfully completed our literacy program in Bolivia. This pilot, implemented in the Periferica macro-district in La Paz, is the result of a valuable collaboration with Fundación Educación y Cooperación (Educo) and Fundación Centro de Cultura Popular (FCCP).
The event organized by Es Hoy, DVV International and Dispurse Foundation highlighted the joint efforts of companies, municipalities, educational institutions and civil society to close the educational gaps in youth and adults. In a context where 1 in 3 people in Peru have not completed their basic education, this event highlighted the importance of education as a tool for transformation.
In commemoration of International Literacy Day, Dispurse Foundation joined the awareness parade held in the city of Cajamarca. This event brought together students, teachers, organizations and local authorities to highlight the importance of literacy in personal and community development.
