In an effort to break down barriers to access to knowledge and promote gender equality, the Audiopedia Foundation and Pro Mujer have established a strategic alliance to bring educational content in audio format to thousands of indigenous and rural women in Latin America.

Audiopedia is excited to announce the launch of Audiopedia LATAM, a dedicated platform for Latin America that marks a major milestone in our mission to empower underserved women, especially those from indigenous and marginalized communities. With the launch of this initiative, Audiopedia is addressing a critical need for accessible, culturally relevant information across Latin America, using the power of technology to bridge educational and informational gaps for those who need it most.

As the warm winds swept across Latin America this year, another silent but relentless force began to stir: the Aedes aegypti mosquito. Once largely confined to the tropics, this small but deadly insect is now spreading dengue fever far beyond its traditional territories, taking advantage of a world reshaped by climate change. In 2024, Latin America is grappling with its most severe dengue outbreak on record, affecting millions and stretching healthcare systems to their limits. At Audiopedia Foundation, we’re seeing a surge in requests for information on dengue from communities across the region. What’s behind this unprecedented outbreak? Let’s dive deeper into the factors fueling this crisis.

In the spirit of innovation and commitment to empowering marginalized communities, Audiopedia is proud to introduce Ella.fm – a beacon of knowledge and empowerment, set to launch in Latin America in 2024. At the heart of Audiopedia’s mission is the pursuit of educational equity, and Ella.fm is our latest step in making this a reality for women and girls across diverse cultural landscapes.
