The young people were trained for a period of three months in entrepreneurship and employability. In addition, each participant had the opportunity to design their life plan, business model and received labor intermediation.

The event was attended by the authorities in the east of the country: William Molina, supervisor of agencies and Sabina Ayala, sustainability coordinator of Banco DAVIVIENDA. In addition, Carolina Hernández, national coordinator of the Jóvenes Súper Pilas Project of World Vision El Salvador.

"From World Vision's Jóvenes Súper Pilas project, we firmly believe in the possibilities of young people in our country, as transforming agents of their reality and their environment", said Carolina Hernández, national coordinator of Jóvenes Súper Pilas El Salvador.

Through this project, with support from DAVIVIENDA, 166 young people have benefited to date, since october 2021.

In addition, the young people reinforced their financial education through courses on the "My Finances at Home" platform, where they learned how to design their budgets, manage their income and expenses, save and invest.

"As Banco DAVIVIENDA, we are committed to becoming agents of change for our country and we are certain that, through these young graduates, we are contributing a little more to the transformation of a better El Salvador",said Sabina Ayala, sustainability coordinator at Banco DAVIVIENDA.

In addition to the graduation ceremony, the magazine Jóvenes Súper Pilas - San Miguel 2nd Edition was launched, presenting the progress and testimonies of some of the young participants in this cohort.

The partnership between World Vision's Jóvenes Súper Pilas and Banco DAVIVIENDA arises as a way to support youth towards economic opportunities in the eastern part of the country.

The call is that other companies and institutions are part of this project that aims to benefit young people and that TOGETHER we generate spaces where they can develop integrally and thus transform their future, prepare and become "Jóvenes Súper Pilas" for El Salvador, said the representatives of the World Vision project in the country.
