Vi är glada att tillkännage att vi har startat vårt läs-och skriv program för vuxna tillsammans med det peruanska Ministeriet för Kvinnor och Utsatta Medborgare i Chetilla, en av regionen Cajamarcas mest utsatta distrikt.
I Cajamarca bor det cirka 1.3 miljoner invånare. Det är också en av de regionen där befolkningen har störst brist på grundläggande läs-och skrivkunskaper, efter regionerna Huancavelica och Apurímac. (Källa: Andina, 2019)
Chetilla är det distrikt i regionen Cajamarca där störst antal kvinnor (45,1-58%) saknar grundläggande läs-och skrivkunskaper (Källa: Cajamarca Regional Government, 2010).
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.
