We are a digital solution that enables change in vulnerable communities through microlearning, supported by economic incentives.
We believe that social mobility is achieved not only through educational inputs but must be accompanied by conditional transfers, so the recipient has additional financial resources to meet their particular needs.
Who are we?
educON is a company that facilitates money transfers and other economic resources to users of our web/app solutions as a reward for educating themselves, acquiring knowledge, or performing voluntary actions in their community.
We create digital solutions that link online education, microlearning, and the registration of voluntary actions with the transfer of economic resources.
Who is our solution aimed at?
Our clients are companies, organizations, institutions, or governments that need to transfer resources to people who meet a predetermined criterion, for example, being an adult woman from a specific locality, or being a person in a vulnerable condition.
Our clients need the transfer to be conditional on the acquisition of specific, useful knowledge for the recipients, for example, learning to separate solid waste or learning to maintain a garden.
The transfers could also be conditioned on carrying out voluntary actions that benefit the community, such as participating in a park clean-up campaign.
How do we do it?
Educon specializes in integrating the registration and management of learning, community action, and transfers, in applications operated on mobile phones used by the recipients of the transfers. At the same time, and with the same solution, we provide auditable accounting and digital records for our clients.
We assist social mobility by combining education and social action with conditional transfers. Users of our web/app solutions receive economic resources to meet their particular needs while improving their training in various areas or supporting their community with specific actions.

Our Actions
Financial education for women
For the United Nations Development Programme, educOn developed the Microlearning Web App on Financial Education for Women in Spanish-speaking Latin America. A 15-day training on basic financial education concepts for 150 women in rural and coastal areas, associated with a conditional transfer for completing the course.
High Demand Work for Immigrants Women from the Maghreb
In coordination with associations based in Marseille, the goal is to support migrant women from North African countries through micro-learning training, helping them find a path to professional retraining that allows them to integrate into the labor market.
Campaign for women displaced by the war in Gaza
A contract was signed with the multinational company Talabat, operating in the Middle East, to offer redeemable credits for online grocery purchases for women displaced by the war in Gaza, living in Egypt and Jordan, who complete financial education training.
Security Between Borders – Venezuelan Migrant Crisis
Once in Panamanian territory and heading north, offer a course with conditional transfers to Venezuelan migrants, providing resources and measures for physical, financial, and sexual safety, allowing them greater defense of their rights during their transit.
Waste management for urban areas
With the Organization for Tropical Studies in Costa Rica, a web app was developed for women in marginalized urban areas to learn how to separate and manage household waste, with a monetary transfer reward for course completion.
Promoting Reading for Parents
In collaboration with Costa Rican publishers, provide parents with tools to promote reading in the early stages of childhood through a micro-learning course with playful practices aimed at developing reading and writing habits in children under 7 years old.
