In July 2020, the Education for Success Program (EduÉxito) delivered seven promotion funds to benefit nine young people who established their own businesses.
These youth entrepreneurs, from the municipalities of Bluefields, Nueva Guinea and Laguna de Perlas, are graduates of the vocational courses and technical careers EduÉxito offered between 2019 and 2020. These vocational courses were offered to young people between 16 and 29 years old who seek to improve their life situation.
By opening their businesses, everyone will receive technical support to consolidate their small businesses gradually.
The EduÉxito development fund makes awards in materials, equipment, and tools. It was developed to recognize the multiple barriers faced by the youth population of the Caribbean Coast to access financing and business development opportunities.
