In collaboration with the National Program of Direct Support to the Poorest - JUNTOS, Cajamarca, we have started our literacy program in the district of Los Baños del Inca, focusing on low literate users of the social program in the villages of Bajo Otuzco and Puylucana.
The project is developed within the framework of the cooperation agreement between the District Municipality of Los Baños del Inca and the Dispurse Foundation, whose objective for the year 2024 is to teach literacy to 50 women living in poverty and vulnerability in the district, aiming to improve their personal, family and community development. This year we also plan to work with 30 users of the social program in the district of La Encañada, in collaboration with the local government.
The purpose of the Juntos Program is to provide subsidies to benefit the poorest families in the rural and urban population. In addition, it provides health and education benefits aimed at ensuring access to schooling as well as preventive maternal and child health.
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.
The Municipality of Machupicchu, through the Deputy Manager of Social Development, and Dispurse Foundation have signed an inter-institutional cooperation agreement with the aim of combating illiteracy and promoting educational continuity for people in vulnerable situations.
