In this 2020, we continue with our work to eradicate poverty through education. On this occasion, we met with representatives of the Center for the Integral Development of the Family, an institution that belongs to the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations, with the aim of reducing the illiteracy gap in the region through our technological proposal Focus.
According to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), there are currently more than 750 million adults in the world who are illiterate. The agency affirms that literacy is the starting point to achieve a true quality inclusive education, and that for this, it is necessary to expand initiatives around the world that aim to make literacy a reality for all. The Dispurse Foundation is one of those initiatives and we will continue to work hard to fulfil our purpose of providing an education that allows our students to have the tools to get out of poverty.
