Caños de Tucupita

Since 2000, Fe y Alegría Tucupita has developed an educational project focused on intercultural bilingual literacy for youth and adults, especially in the Warao indigenous community of the Orinoco Delta. With more than 24 years of experience, it has taught more than 9,000 people to read and write. The program, which integrates the Warao language and Spanish, faces logistical and cultural challenges, but has managed to improve self-esteem and recognition of rights in the communities. Fe y Alegría continues to expand its reach.

Fe y Alegría Guatemala

At the Centro Educativo Fe y Alegría 2 in Colonia Carolingia, zone 6 of Mixco, Guatemala, students and mothers are immersed in a unique learning experience through the school garden. In this pedagogical practice, participants not only grow vegetables and herbs, but also fundamental life skills. As they plant and care for the plants, they develop hard skills such as knowledge about sustainable agriculture and cultivation techniques, as well as soft skills such as teamwork, responsibility and environmental awareness. The school garden thus becomes an integral learning space that fosters a connection with the land, the community and the importance of healthy eating, while reinforcing a sense of belonging and cooperation among members of the educational community.
