We design solutions to achieve digital inclusion for isolated populations in the region, viewing the internet as a developmental tool from the perspective of the communities, particularly the women of the Gran Chaco Americano. We focus on improving access to connectivity by facilitating the provision of computer equipment for centers, digital literacy, and the strategic appropriation of information and communication technologies (ICT) for communities.
Nanum – means “Sharing” in Korean
Objectives
- Support the strengthening of organizations through access to technologies that reduce isolation and enhance their adaptation and resilience to climate change.
- Facilitate the incorporation and appropriation of technological innovations, develop new digital tools specific to each community's challenges, with an intercultural, gender, and bilingual focus.
- Boost economic activities and local and regional productive enterprises through access to ICT.
These centers are managed and led by women from the communities themselves, who are trained as tutors to preserve, continue, and enhance the pre-existing knowledge in the territory through strategic appropriation.
