Microsoft Peru made a donation to the organization "YES Peru" to implement the project "Digital Literacy Infocentre"

Through its program "Unlimited Potential", Microsoft Peru made a donation (in cash and software) to the organization "YES Peru" to implement the project "Digital Literacy Infocentre", which seeks to provide training in the use of virtual tools.

This project will let that low-income youth people from San Juan de Lurigancho, as well as women from grassroots organizations, can be trained in the use of virtual tools (E-business, E-Governance, among others). They can ensure their integration into the labor market and improve their life expectancy. With a duration of one year, this initiative will benefit 500 young people from the area and approximately 250 women and it hopes to be replicated in other parts of the country.
