The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) awarded a $368,000 Project Grant to Asociacion Cultural Ayllu Yupaychay (YUPAY), a non-profit organization, under the IAF Assistance for Overseas Programs (CFDA 85.750). The grant aims to improve educational outcomes, economic opportunities, and participation in local development processes for the Q'ero Nation, an indigenous group in remote areas of Peru, by providing stable satellite internet access and digital literacy training. The 3-year grant period runs from July 28, 2023 to July 28, 2026. The project addresses the unreliable internet connectivity that has limited the Q'ero Nation's access to educational and economic resources, supporting community-led solutions to expand the social and economic inclusion of this historically marginalized group.
