COPRODELI

What COPRODELI does

COPRODELI (Asociación Comunión, Promoción, Desarrollo y Liberación) is a Peruvian nonprofit association founded in 1989 by Spanish missionary Father Miguel Ranera to fight extreme poverty and social exclusion in the urban-marginal barriadas of Callao. It operates an integrated development model spanning K-12 education, vocational training, social housing, humanitarian aid, employment programs, healthcare, and pastoral formation, serving more than 100,000 beneficiaries per year across vulnerable populations including children at risk, women experiencing violence, persons with disabilities, abandoned elderly, and NEET youth. The organization runs 27 schools, 63 self-help clubs (women, disability, elderly), and field operations across Peru, Ecuador, the United States, and Spain, employing 1,014 full-time staff and a network of volunteer teachers.

The organization's technology stack centers on the CEAD (Coprodeli Educa A Distancia) distance-learning platform, designed to function under minimal internet connectivity for low-income families. CEAD integrates a digital library, Netflix-style educational video library (Videoteca), Spotify-style educational audio library (Audioteca), video conferencing, and messaging, supported by LAN hardware in schools and neighborhoods with minimal uplink. Content is produced by approximately 100 volunteer teachers per educational level, grade, and subject, published in part via CoproWiki, a free school encyclopedia launched May 30, 2021, under CC BY-SA 3.0 and GFDL licenses with 295 articles. Aprendo en Coprodeli provides a WordPress-based LMS layer. COPRODELI's schools have ranked first in the Callao Region for 7 consecutive years in Peru's national ECE evaluations.

Revenue is generated entirely through donations and sponsorships from individuals, parishes, corporate partners (e.g., Altar'd State, Spanish municipalities), and two primary affiliated foundations: Fundación COPRODELI España and Coprodeli Foundation USA (a 501(c)(3)). The child sponsorship (apadrinamiento) program charges 60 soles (~$2 USD/day) per child per month on a subscription basis, while corporate and institutional partnerships are negotiated separately. The go-to-market is community-led: direct engagement via schools, community centers, parish churches, and volunteer networks in urban-marginal and rural areas of Peru and Ecuador, supplemented by international fundraising through the Spain and USA foundation arms.
