Guatemala: technology at the service of indigenous culture

Apr 1, 2022

Educa is a project that has offered 25 young people in Guatemala training in computer programming and web design. Some of the scholarship holders come from indigenous ethnic groups and want to put the technical skills they have acquired at the service especially of the women in their communities. The aim is to enhance their culture and help women to excel, so that there are equal opportunities for all.
