Fidamar📶✨ Secocha is now more connected than ever!
In the rural areas of Arequipa, internet access remains a major barrier to learning. While some important steps have been taken, many schools still face daily challenges: poor infrastructure, limited connectivity, lack of proper devices, and insufficient teacher training.
📊 According to the 2024 National Household Survey, only 35% of rural households in Arequipa have internet access. This statistic is a clear reminder that the digital divide remains deep in our region.
💡 To help change this reality, FIDAMAR has launched the “Connected Secocha” project, bringing virtual libraries, digital tools, and technology training to more than 1,100 students and teachers at School No. 40194 Ricardo Palma, located in the town of Secocha (Mariano Nicolás Valcárcel, Camaná).
This initiative builds on the successful experience of “Connected Huanca”, a project we developed in Ayacucho in 2024 that benefited over 330 students and teachers 🙌.
🌐 What does “Connected Secocha” include?
✅ Communication equipment, servers, and computers
✅ Hands-on training for teachers
✅ Continuous monitoring with key performance indicators (KPIs) 📈
✅ Guaranteed sustainability through an agreement with #UGELCamaná
🤝 We extend special thanks to our strategic partner Uayki – Todos Conectados for making this technological implementation possible. Together, we are connecting futures!
🚀 At FIDAMAR, we remain committed to innovation as a way to close educational gaps and create real opportunities in our country’s artisanal mining communities.
