We are very proud to announce that we are winners of the “ConectaRSE para Crecer 2019” contest, an important recognition that has been organized since 2011 by Telefónica del Perú.
We received the prize in category in the “Education”, thanks to our Literacy program with the use of the Focus application, which teaches young people and adults, to read, write and count through self-learning.
ConectaRSE para Crecer is an annual recognition that seeks to identify, recognize and enhance those initiatives that, through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), have a positive impact on the social and economic development of rural communities in Peru.
This important recognition drives us to continue working to achieve our purpose: Contribute to eradicate poverty through education.
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.
