Parway is a Quechua word that means “to thrive, to grow up”
As a matter of fact, globalisation is everywhere. The populations living in the Amazonian forest are not on their own anymore and a number of threats are hitting them on a daily basis. Threats are ranging from the integration of changes in diet (e.g. refined sugar that ruins children’s teeth) to the destruction of the ecosystem and habitat (e.g. exploitation of the resources such as logging and mining). Because it’s not possible to stop the globalisation on the door of the Amazon forest, one of the best actions is to empower the local population to handle the current context. Education provides the tools to empower people and help them taking their context in check. Parway is designed to support education with the purpose to enable the local population to remain the subject in their ecosystem and not becoming the object of a globalised world.

According to the OCDE ranking for education, Peru stands towards the end of the list. In fact, Peru came in the last place in the 2013 survey of education indicators in 65 countries carried out by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. Because those figures are averages over the whole country, it’s easy to understand that education in the jungle is on the lower end of the scale.
