Dispurse Literacy Program is reaching more people who have not had the chance to learn how to read and write.
This project is developed within the framework of the cooperation agreement between the District Municipality of La Encañada and Dispurse Foundation, whose objective for the year 2024 is to teach literacy to 30 women living in poverty and vulnerability in the district, aiming to improve their personal, family and community development.
This work is in addition to that being developed in the district of Los Baños del Inca where 50 users of the social program have started their literacy training in June, under the Dispurse methodology, using the FOCUS application.
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.
