🌟 Project Spotlight: EmpowerEd 👩🏫 Led by:Ariana Pantoja 🏛 Institution:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú Let's highlight one of our fellows' remarkable initiatives: EmpowerEd. This project is more than just an educational program; it is a passion-driven movement committed to ensuring quality education for all. Born out of the need to address educational inequalities, EmpowerEd offers free, personalized tutoring to children and young people in Peru who cannot afford private tutoring. This initiative empowers college students to share their knowledge and inspire change, providing the support needed for academic success and personal growth. Through partnerships with top universities, including the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, EmpowerEd enlists top-performing university students as volunteer tutors. These dedicated tutors help students identify their strengths and weaknesses, developing customized learning plans that improve academic performance and boost confidence and self-esteem. Ariana Pantoja emphasizes the project's core value: “Remember the power of collaboration. We have learned that working with others who share your vision and goals can lead to greater impact and success.” By building strong partnerships with universities and schools, EmpowerEd is helping to bridge the education gap and empower the next generation of leaders and change-makers.
