This month we have started a new literacy group in La Ensenada, north of Lima, thanks to the support of people who donated second-hand devices through the campaign "Donate a tablet, change a life".
The work is developed within the framework of a cooperation agreement with Mano a Mano Peru, a non-profit association with more than 30 years of intervention in the district of Puente Piedra, whose objective is to strengthen the literacy program through the implementation of the Dispurse methodology, based on the use of the FOCUS application and didactic materials.
The program is aimed at illiterate young and adult women in the town of La Ensenada and seeks to contribute to their empowerment and community development, promoting education as a key tool for social change. It is important to note that many women living in La Ensenada are migrants from the highlands of Peru and could not access or did not complete primary education, facing additional difficulties for their integration and development in society.
You can also be part of this change! We invite more people to join our cause to strengthen our work in Lima and other regions of the country. With your help, we can continue to transform lives and communities through education. Donate a Tablet, change a life!
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.
María Quispe Ito is a 51-year-old artisan who knits hats, gloves and booties with sheep's wool and sells them in the Plaza de Armas of her district Coata, in the Puno region. As a child she was forced to work, so she was taken away from school by her parents when she was very young.
