We delivered more than 300 digital tablets to educational institutions in Villanueva, Casanare

With the aim of promoting quality education and ensuring the continuity of the school training of children and adolescents from Villanueva from home, we delivered more than 300 digital tablets that will benefit primary and secondary students from the four public educational institutions in the municipality of southern Casanare.

This project is part of the Program for the Benefit of Communities (PBC) that we agreed upon with the National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) and local authorities as the operator of the Llanos 87 block, which is currently in the environmental licensing stage. The beneficiaries were selected based on the criteria defined by the Villanueva Mayor's Office, which considered aspects such as: belonging to family units of groups A and B of Sisbén, having active enrollment in official educational institutions, being included in a population with a differential approach, among others.

Jenny Barbosa, who serves as the Neighbor Relations Leader at GeoPark, stated: “We know that education is one of the fundamental pillars to guarantee children and adolescents a future of opportunities where they can realize their dreams of social progress. This is a key factor in achieving the goals of sustainable development. Therefore, in this pandemic situation, we are redoubling our efforts, and this delivery that benefits Villanueva students is yet another demonstration of our commitment to achieving that objective.”.

Since the United Nations defined the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), GeoPark has aligned its socio-environmental projects to promote the fulfillment of these goals and contribute to closing gaps. This delivery contributes to SDG 4, as the Company is contributing to the promotion of inclusive, equitable, and quality education and to the generation of learning opportunities for all.
