📚💭 Did you know that many children in rural Peru face overwhelming barriers to education?

In some of the most underserved areas:
🧒🏽 Only 66–75% of teens aged 13–17 are still enrolled in school
📉 Over half of rural youth drop out by age 15–19
📖 Literacy rates can drop as low as 86% in Indigenous rural communities
🧥 Many walk long distances to school without warm clothing or school supplies

These aren’t just statistics—they’re daily realities for too many kids. Understanding the facts is the first step toward creating meaningful change.

✨ Follow along this week as we spotlight the realities of education in Peru’s rural communities.
