Saberes: Training for childminders

Saberes: Propacifico Colombia The project “Saberes”, developed by the Limmat Foundation, is continuing to progress. In 2024, the foundation will finance a transfer of know-how to the ProPacífico organisation, which has a good network in the rural region of western Colombia. As part of a modular course, caregivers learn how to better support their protégés during the important phase of early childhood: language skills, motor skills, musical abilities etc. Thanks to this extra-familial care, hundreds of children have already mastered school life more successfully and the school drop-out rate has been reduced.

A way out of crime for young people

Preventing school drop-out Colombia The project “Iwoka” operates on two levels: In a school, volunteers from years 9th and 10th grades (15 to 16 years old) who have the necessary skills are carefully prepared, through intensive training, for their future role as coaches. Each of these secondary school students help four primary school pupils with their homework, accompany them if they have family problems and protect them in the playground from possible bullying as well as harassment by fellow pupils. It has been proven that this method has not only prevented many children from dropping out of school, but has also had a positive effect on their personalities.
