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.
En la Fundación Dispurse, seguimos avanzando en nuestro compromiso con la educación de personas jóvenes y adultas en situación de vulnerabilidad. Nos complace anunciar que hemos concretado la réplica de la exitosa experiencia de las Escuelas Comunitarias Abiertas (ECA) desarrollada en la provincia de Quispicanchi, Cusco, esta vez en el distrito de Los Baños del Inca, en la región Cajamarca.
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.
