ProFuturo, the technology-enabled education innovation program of Fundación Telefónica and Fundación "la Caixa", and American Tower announced today their partnership to continue transforming children’s education through technology. Both organizations seek to support underserved communities with educational innovation and technology, enabling social programs to improve quality of life and ensure equitable participation in the digital world. American Tower's Digital Communities are digitally connected, technology-equipped spaces that offer digital literacy and education for youth, financial education and vocational training for adults, or healthcare services.
The joint project will begin with a first phase focused on strengthening education with technology in 44 schools, located in Chile, Colombia and Kenya, where ProFuturo and American Tower are active, and is expected to positively impact the lives of more than 4,500 students and 475 teachers. The program is planned to expand to more schools and countries on both continents.
