With the premise of quality education, Providence gave the library to the students of Jorge Isaacs, in El Cerrito. There are 1,570 books with a catalog of 425 children’s, 348 youth, 506 news and 291 encyclopedias. Also computers and videobeam.
The general manager of the Providencia sugar mill, Vicente Borrero, said: “It is facilitating our children’s access to knowledge. Education is a way to generate equality and opportunities”.
“Providencia has always been willing to provide attention to the educational needs of the children and youth of El Cerrito; We have witnessed this with the calls for scholarships and the visits they make to us to train our students in environmental issues,” said Marhta Isabel Mera, rector of the educational institution.
“I feel very grateful to the Ingenio for this new opportunity that it offers our children and young people, to have spaces that promote education in an environment that is not only decent, but also pleasant,” she added.
In July 2021, the mill delivered a library to more than 1,500 students in the Santa Elena district.
Both projects have been advised by Library Foundationa non-profit foundation that was created by 22 private companies, to strengthen the network of public libraries in Cali and Valle.
The mill also promotes ‘Providencia Conecta’, an initiative since 2019 that provides free internet in the room in Guabas; 437 children and young people from El Placer and Amaime received the service in their homes.
The manager Vicente Borrero said that ‘After School’ will start, with the support of Fundación Único, for girls from 5 to 13 years of age from El Placer, Amaime and El Cerrito.
