Mission Statement
Kantaya’s mission is to improve the educational quality and socio-emotional development of children in poverty situation through its two programs: After School Kantaya and Podera.
About This Cause
Education in Peru is facing an educational crisis. According to the Worldwide Economic Forum, 2018, Peru ranks 129th out of 137 countries in Primary Education Quality. In impoverished communities, 12% understand what they read and 8% resolve math problems after finishing primary school. There are over 2 million of primary school children in poverty. Asociación Kantaya has benefited 3,000+ children with its After-School Program that has a proprietary educational curriculum that focuses on reading comprehension, numerical skills, technology, socio-emotional skills development and life experiences. This program has proven great results as out the Kantaya children, 74% understand what they read, 70% resolve math problems and 70% Kantaya children reach higher education. Each child considers the Kantaya centers their second home, where they feel safe, learn through play, and recognize their teachers as examples. The Podera Program trains, certifies, and empowers women as teacher assistants. Each Podera graduate can impact the lives of 20 children per year. Podera's results demonstrate its significant impact: 98% of students have acquired the necessary skills to perform as Teacher Assistants, 86% of students report feeling more empowered by the course, and 74% of graduates are employed. In this way, the program not only benefits Peruvian women but also creates a direct change by ensuring that more children in Peru receive better education.
