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).
Through the use of the FOCUS application, participants acquired basic functional literacy skills, as well as digital and critical competencies. This achievement not only benefits the graduates, but also their families and communities by opening up new opportunities for their development.
We hope that this first milestone will inspire more women in Bolivia to join this effort. Our commitment is to continue working just as hard in the coming years, expanding the scope of this collaboration to help bring education to those who need it most.
We are deeply grateful to Educo, FCCP and all those who have made this progress possible. We congratulate our graduating students for their dedication and determination.
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.
María Quispe Ito is a 51-year-old artisan who knits hats, gloves and booties with sheep's wool and sells them in the Plaza de Armas of her district Coata, in the Puno region. As a child she was forced to work, so she was taken away from school by her parents when she was very young.
