During the pandemic, access to basic resources, health information, job offers and even access to education requires an internet connection. The digital gap means vulnerable populations are left out, as they make little use of technology and have low levels of digital literacy, limited access to reliable information and little contact with the digital economy.
With these factors in mind, Fundación Capital created Con-Héctor, a free virtual assistant to provide people with practical advice and recommendations on products and services to make informed decisions and improve their quality of life. Our mission is inclusion for people living in poverty. By focusing on technology as an entry point to the digital economy, we are working to close the inequality gap.
