Maestro Cares Foundation collaborated with the Banco Crédito del Peru (BCP) and the Universidad de Ingeniería & Tecnología in Lima, Peru, to bring high-quality STEM education to children in disadvantaged Peruvian communities. We sponsored the middle school Kari Grande in the small community of San Sebastian, Cusco, Peru.
The initiative, called Project MABA, began in 2015 with only 7 schools, but it grew to 25 within a year. Its main goal is to address education inequality in developing areas. This is done by investing in modern technology and strong communication tools, plus using advanced hardware and a customized learning management system. The project also provides professional development for classroom teachers to implement the curriculum.
Special Notes: Maestro Cares Foundation is committed to providing funding for three years. However, the program was suspended in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19.
