Visionaria Network

What Visionaria Network does

Visionaria Network is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN: 81-3835731), incorporated in the United States, that has operated in Peru since 2017 with a regional focus on the Cusco and Sacred Valley areas of the Peruvian Andes. The organization delivers educational programs to public secondary schools, educators, and youth, addressing low education quality in rural communities, undervalued civics instruction, youth disengagement, and gender-based inequality. Its theory of change centers on fostering a 'Visionaria' mindset — combining creativity and confidence — in young women and men so they become agents of change in their own communities.

Its core product portfolio comprises three main programs. Visionaria for Schools (VpIE) integrates empowerment, leadership, and sustainable development lesson plans into the mandatory Personal and Civic Development course, aligned with the Peruvian National Curriculum Framework and International Baccalaureate Diploma requirements; lessons are paired with team-based design-thinking social innovation projects mentored by local leaders. Beca Líder con Visión is a leadership scholarship program that supports secondary students in formulating and implementing community development projects (e.g., five development proposals in Anta Province districts). Del Dicho al Hecho is an 8-week virtual teacher training program co-designed with WomenStrong International, focused on gender equality pedagogy. Supporting offerings include downloadable bilingual lesson plans, photo essay documentation of past projects, an online course portal under development, and the Confianza confidence campaign. The organization does not develop proprietary technology; differentiation rests on curriculum design, facilitation methodology, and cultural adaptation to Andean/Quechua contexts rather than on software or AI systems.

Revenue derives entirely from individual donations and institutional grants — including USAID, WomenStrong International, YouthPower Learning, SSHRC, Canada Fund for Local Initiatives, and Johns Hopkins University — with programs delivered at no cost to participating schools and students. Distribution operates through direct school-integrated partnerships with local education management units (UGEL Cusco, UGEL Anta), allied international development organizations, and the Organization of American States, rather than through traditional sales channels. The organization maintains a small operational team (5 employees) and pursues expansion from its Cusco base toward national-level programming in Peru, supported by a network of approximately 14 institutional and implementation partners.
