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.
Thanks to this alliance, the Dispurse Literacy Program will be implemented with the Dispurse methodology and the use of the FOCUS application, which allows the development of a basic literacy and numeracy.
The first students in the district are 20 women engaged in commerce, who did not access or did not complete their primary education. By participating in out literacy program they hope to improve their productive activity and income generation for their families.
The social management of the Municipality plans to strengthen the impact of the literacy program by promoting the educational continuity of its population through community education.
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.
Dispurse Literacy Program is reaching more people who have not had the chance to learn how to read and write.
