Yorivel Pinto, an enumerator with IPA in Panama, walked for six hours from the closest road to the remote community of Higueron.


Her mission? To find and interview young school children for a

study that is measuring whether a bilingual and intercultural preschool math program improves child learning in poor, largely indigenous communities in the Ngabe region of Panama.


Because the schools are in isolated areas, surveyors (all of whom are local women) need to walk long distances, take small boats on the river, and ride horses to reach the children. It’s not easy work, but Yorivel says the work is important for the children in her area, and she values that the project is working to preserve the local Ngabere language.


The program is modeled after a similar

program in Paraguay scaled up based on positive results. This research also has the potential to improve child learning in Panama, and beyond.


Yorivel’s work—the lengths she goes to—is part of the painstaking process of collecting high-quality data that feeds into good research and, in turn, good programs and policies.

How far are you willing to go to make sure programs actually benefit people living in poverty?

A donation is a fast and easy way to make a difference.


For added incentive, today is the last day to make a tax-deductible donation in 2019—please give before midnight!
