Aspera Makes Donation to Practical Action Project in Peru
Aspera, a worldwide provider of Software Asset Management solutions and services, has donated over $16,000 USD to the Practical Action project "Healthy Schools in Apurimac" in Peru. The project aims to improve student achievements at eight primary schools in the Apurimac region of Peru, through access to energy services, clean water, adequate sanitation and information technology.
“I recently visited Peru and met a boy, high in the Andes, who now has electricity in his school thanks to Practical Action, said Rachel Hudson, Fundraising, Marketing and Communications Director at Practical Action. “As a result he can study the national curriculum on the internet. `We feel connected to the world,’ he said to me. We are delighted that Aspera has chosen to support this life-changing project.”
“The project in the Apurimac region brings change to communities that are isolated from fundamental advantages of modern education,” said Olaf Diehl, managing director of Aspera. “We are happy to support the work of Practical Action which is based on innovative thinking and technical knowledge. For this reason, we are donating this year on behalf of our customers.”

Practical Action uses technology to challenge poverty in developing countries.
Our strength is our approach. We find out what people are doing and help them to do it better. Through technology we enable poor communities to build on their skills and knowledge to produce sustainable and practical solutions - transforming their lives forever and protecting the world around them.
By doing this each year we help around a million people break out of the cycle of poverty ... for good.
