Project Details

Valentina


Description

The Sergio Paiz Foundation, also known for its acronym Funsepa, is a non-for-profit organization created aiming to provide technology that improves the educational system and contributes to the alleviation of poverty in Guatemala. We aim to be the leading organization, pioneer and innovative in the scope of education through technology, in order to impact and transcend Guatemala’s development.

“Valentina” is one of the projects of FUNSEPA that was launched in 2018 aiming to promote training in technology and job placement for young people between 18 and 24 years old. So far, more than 50 Guatemalans that have been part of this program, have had the opportunity to be trained and are currently in the process of being placed in different financial, agricultural, TICs, beverage and food companies, among others.

FUNSEPA’s mission is to improve the nation’s social and economic development through the innovative use of technology as an effective educational tool for youth. Perhaps one of the most significant factors contributing to Guatemala’s failing education system is the severe lack of technology.
