📋 Tender Overview
People with visual disabilities develop their own businesses thanks to the technical training provided by MineduA group of young people with visual disabilities from the Luis Braille Technical-Productive Education Center (Cetpro), in Comas, promotes new ventures thanks to the computer science education they receive through the use of screen readers and artificial intelligence. 2026 calendars, family puzzles, personalized pack-mouses and sublimated items are part of the catalog of products that they began to market during these end-of-year holidays, as an alternative to generate income and strengthen their economic autonomy.
The technical-productive education offered by the Ministry of Education (Minedu) promotes inclusion, equity and job opportunities for young people and adults. Although Cetpro Luis Braille is open to the general public, its educational community is made up mostly of people with visual disabilities who find in technical training a way to overcome adversities, develop skills and build an independent life project.
In this regard, the Minister of Education, Jorge Figueroa Guzman, highlighted the value of equal opportunities and the commitment of the Government of President Jose Jeri: When you visit a Cetpro and see young people and adults creating, programming or designing, you realize that the true engine of Peru is in its people. Our commitment is that each of them has an opportunity to undertake and get ahead.
start over
Among the most inspiring stories is that of Cristhian Leyver Chavez Rivera, 35 years old, born in the Santa Cruz hamlet, in Jaen. For a decade he was a musician and founder of the La Rumba orchestra, which supported the income of thirteen families. The pandemic left him without a job and without a life plan. He lost everything.
Still, he didnt give up. He traveled more than 1000 kilometers to Lima to start again, but this time in the Comas district. Today he attends high school at the Luis Braille Alternative Basic Education Center (CEBA) in the mornings and, in the afternoons, he studies computing at the Cetpro of the same educational complex.
Recover autonomy
I heard a video on TikTok and called. They told me that they teach computing here and, since it was in the same district where my uncle lives, I signed up. Now I design calendars using artificial intelligence and I want to sell more than a hundred around this time of years holidays, he says while organizing his first orders.
Before he directed an orchestra; Today, cane in hand, he regained his autonomy and dreams of opening a hardware store in his homeland. He also prepares with Office courses and is currently learning calculations and formulas in Excel to manage his future business.
Abigail and Rosa: talents that make their way
Like Cristhian, Abigail de la Cruz, 23, a visually impaired student, follows the Computer Science program at Cetpro while studying psychology at a university. He dreams of opening his own office.
I like to guide and help. Here I learn tools that allow me to work and study at the same time, he says.
Another story is that of Rosa Cordero, who has moderate intellectual disability and stands out for her creativity in the design of personalized products. Keychains, puzzles, pack-mouses, paintings and calendars are part of its offer. Her talent inspires her peers and demonstrates that inclusion opens opportunities for everyone.
Here they not only learn, they also undertake. They already sell their products and are ready to compete without depending on anyone, highlights the teacher of the Computer Science program, Jessica Zamora.
