Proposed solution

The Pereira Hub has launched the project Útiles somos todos to promote a campaign to collect school supplies and assemble kits that would be delivered to boys and girls whose families lack resources to support the continuity of their academic activities.

Milestones and deadlines

2. Launch of a campaign to collect resources on social networks.

3. Selection process of beneficiary children and adolescents by travelers between letters through a recycling contest.

4. Inventory and assemble kits of all the resources collected during the campaign.

5. Programming of visits to communities for delivery of supplies.

6. Delivery of supplies to the three communities chosen to impact the campaign.
