Argentine woman embarks on entrepreneurial journey, launching a project spanning Route 40
In the heart of Argentina, a non-profit organization named the Ruta 40 Foundation has been making a significant impact on education and community development in rural and remote areas for the past two decades.
The Ruta 40 Foundation, named after the famous national highway that passes through diverse historic sites and landscapes, views education as essential for the development of individuals and the building of future citizens. However, there is limited information available about the foundation's history, projects, and impact on rural education in Argentina.
The foundation, founded by Silvia Torres Carbonell who holds degrees in business administration, accounting, and psychopedagogy, started as a travelling family's exploration of the country. Over the years, it has grown into an organisation that supports almost 400 rural schools along the Ruta 40 corridor.
The foundation's projects typically include improving educational infrastructure, providing technological resources, fostering teacher training, and strengthening local cultural identity to improve rural students' opportunities. They also address health, environmental, and reading issues in rural schools, and collaborate with organisations like Huerta Niño on nutrition and health programs for children.
The Ruta 40 Foundation does not interfere with the curriculum but helps teachers to better exercise their role. They organise transportation and other resources to address specific needs in rural communities, and consider education as crucial, encompassing learning to think, manage emotions, and have values.
The foundation's team includes collaborators, companies, volunteers, and donors. They collaborate with schools at least twice a month, and their work is considered a commitment to continue improving.
As the foundation prepares to celebrate its 20th anniversary, Silvia Torres Carbonell, the co-founder and president, is looking forward to a future of continued growth and impact in rural education. The anniversary event will be hosted by Julián Weich at the Espacio Márquez in San Isidro.
For authoritative and detailed information about the Ruta 40 Foundation, its history, projects, and impact on rural education, we recommend visiting the official website of the foundation or consulting dedicated Argentine nonprofit and educational development sources.
