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.
Our students, who have benefited from Dispurse Literacy Program, actively participated in the event, demonstrating their progress and the positive impact it has had on their lives. The march had the collaboration of key partners in the implementation of our programs, such as the Rotary Club, CEBA Fray Isaac Shahuano, DVV International, the provincial municipality of Cajamarca and UGEL Cajamarca.
During the event, messages of inclusion and the need to continue working together to ensure that all people, regardless of age or situation, have access to basic education were promoted. Participation in the Pasacalle reinforces our commitment to literacy as a fundamental right and an essential tool for the empowerment of individuals and communities.
These types of activities not only give visibility to the work we have been doing, but also strengthen strategic alliances with organizations and institutions that share our vision of a future with greater educational opportunities for all.
We remain committed to our mission of providing quality education to the most vulnerable communities, and events like this inspire us to continue working to make literacy accessible to all.
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.
In a significant step towards the promotion of youth and adult education, Dispurse Foundation has signed a cooperation agreement with DVV International, the Institute for International Cooperation of the German Adult Education Association (Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband eV).
At Dispurse we are dedicated to evaluate the impact that Dispurse Literacy Program have on participants outcome in literacy and numeracy after finishing the program. That is why we, together with experienced researchers, implemented an assessment study in 2022.
