Community Support Centers in Information Technology and Communication for the Q`ero Nation`s Education and Inclusive Development

Members of the Q'ero Nation, a small Indigenous group living in remote communities in the mountains in the department of Cusco, face unreliable and unstable internet connectivity that limits their educational and economic opportunities.

The IAF supports community-led solutions that expand the economic and social inclusion of historically marginalized groups.

Our grantee Asociacin Cultural Ayllu Yupaychay (YUPAY) improves educational outcomes, economic opportunities, and participation in local development processes by providing community members with stable satellite internet access and preparing participants to take full advantage of new information and communication technologies, including accessing digital markets.
