Perquenco: Building a Better Future
Where it begins
Perquenco is a small rural town located in La Araucanía, one of the most historically vulnerable regions in southern Chile. Beyond its geographic location, Perquenco also meets three key conditions that make it the ideal starting point for this educational transformation.
Our
"Desafío" is
Desafío Levantemos Chile is the driving force behind “Se Puede”. With 15 years of experience lifting communities across Chile, we now focus on transforming education — starting in Perquenco, with a proven, high-impact model.
Who We Are
Se Puede is a bold initiative to bring quality education to all children in Chile. Our goal is to implement a proven global model, improving SIMCE results and achieving 92% attendance in five years. Starting in Perquenco, La Araucanía (2024-2028), we collaborate with local leaders, educators, and families to make it happen.
Inspired by a real educational revolution
In Sobral, Brazil, they achieved the unthinkable: early literacy, excellence in math, and results that surpassed countries like France, Italy, and Portugal — all in a highly vulnerable context.
Today, at Se Puede, we are adapting that proven model to the Chilean reality, starting in Perquenco. Because if it was possible there, we believe it’s possible here too.
A Community Ready for Change
Perquenco is in Chile’s most historically vulnerable region, facing significant educational challenges. But it also holds the potential to lead change. With key conditions in place, it’s the ideal starting point for an education transformation.
