Empowering Poor, Rural Girls in Paraguay

Over the past few months, the young women in our program have had new opportunities to learn, connect, and share their knowledge with others. They participated in FEP (Foro de Emprendedores del Paraguay), where they met other young people, made new friends, and expanded their networks. They also attended panels and different learning sessions that introduced them to new ideas and experiences.

The Robotics team also received new equipment, giving them more opportunities to practice and improve their skills. They are now preparing and participating in competitions with other robotics teams. At the same time, they have started sharing what they know with others. This has been an important change for the group. They are not only learning robotics, but also teaching and encouraging other young people to become interested in technology.

The team recently gave a robotics talk to high school students at Colegio Nacional de Ypejhu. Robotics is still not a common subject in the area, so the activity gave students a chance to learn about something new and ask questions. The team also visited the Aché community of Arroyo Bandera, bringing this learning experience to more young people in the region.

We are happy to see how much the participants have grown. They are gaining technical skills, meeting new people, competing, and becoming more confident in sharing what they know. Most importantly, what they learn through the program is reaching other young people and creating new opportunities in their communities. Thank you for continuing to support their learning and growth.
