Therefore, Centrum PUCP and Financiera Confianza developed Academia Palabra de Mujer. Through eight courses, 650 women were trained in a free programme that meant an investment of US$ 18,432. The project impacted more than 50,000 people on social networks, and had 20-plus appearances on media outlets. More than 80% of the participants commented that the programmes are changing their work and lives.
