At the beginning

Don Ricardo Sagrera Bogle
Founder of ¡Superate!

Since 10 years ago in El Salvador a program has been giving a great opportunity for young Salvadoreans and it is called ¡Superate!. This idea was born in the year 2000 with Mr Ricardo Sagrera Bogle and his family, they  created Sagrera Palomo foundation. After several years analyzing education projects, Mr Ricardo alongside a team of Hilasal group identified a special opportunity to serve as a bridge between young people of scarce resources from public schools and employment opportunities. In that moment El Salvador was growing thanks to foreign investment through the establishment of different industries and service companies (rather call centers), who needed to hire young people who speak English and handle computer tools: were specific competences which were very difficult to find in at that time.
