Education Venezuela "E-VEN" offers educational opportunities for children and adults living in Los Roques and Canaima, two highly touristic difficult access communities in Venezuela. By teaching demographically adapted English focused on 3 main pillars; tourism, conservation, and civic values E-VEN aims to promote economic diversification and growth by diminishing the communication barrier. The place you were born should not limit your opportunities, we EVEN them !

Challenge

E-ROQ Project offers educational tools to rural communities of difficult access. We used to travel to Los Roques to teach demographically adapted English with a focus on sustainable tourism. However, due to the pandemic we haven't been able to access the Archipelago, therefore, we created a virtual strategy to reach our students who live far away from civilization (128km from mainland) and ensure they continue to receive education despite the circumstances.

Long-Term Impact

One of our main objectives is to build the future we hope for Venezuela, in which the economy is not only dependent on the oil industry but on multiple affairs, including sustainable tourism. As an organization, we aim to highlight the touristic potential of hard-to-reach locations and to empower the community to develop touristic activity by allowing them to communicate freely with their customers. Our potential long-term impact is to increase tourism and internet connectivity on the island.
