Kodea

To empower Latin Americans to actively participate in the digital world, not as passive users of technology but as creators, citizens, and protagonists of the knowledge society.

Across Latin America, millions of children spend hours on screens as passive consumers, workers face automation, and women entrepreneurs struggle to bring their businesses online. The problem is not too little technology; it is technology used without criteria or agency. Kodea changes that. For over ten years we have closed the digital divide by: - Teaching computer science and AI to public-school students and their teachers (IdeoDigital) - Spotting and elevating young digital talent from underserved territories (Los Creadores) - Reskilling adults for the digital economy (Talento Digital para Chile) - Empowering women micro-entrepreneurs to grow their businesses online (Emprendedoras Conectadas) With this, we have reached over 2.5 million people in Chile and Peru, moving them from consuming technology to creating with it. Donate now and help turn a growing divide into Latin America's greatest opportunity for social mobility.
