Acronis Cyber Foundation Diary - Acronis volunteers build a school in Senegal (2018)

In November 2018, the Acronis Foundation began construction of the first school in the village of Soupa Serere in Senegal with the help of 20 volunteers from Acronis. When finished, 140 children from the village got access to an education and an opportunity to change their lives to better. The Acronis Foundation supports programs around the world that create, spread and protect knowledge. The foundation’s School Initiative helps provide underserved communities with the educational infrastructure they lack. The Acronis Foundation has pledged to construct 15 school buildings in three years. Since the non-profit was founded, 6 schools have already been constructed, but there is still a need for school supplies, including stationery, textbooks, uniforms, solar panels, and other relevant equipment.

Constant learning, creating and protecting knowledge, and advancing technology are integral parts of Acronis’ DNA. As a result, Acronis has been creating and sharing knowledge by funding schools, research, and training programs in communities around the world. When the company celebrated its 15-year anniversary in 2018, it established the Acronis Foundation with that belief in mind. The foundation’s goal is to support multiple initiatives around the world designed to stimulate education in order to gain and protect knowledge where it’s needed most. In addition to the school projects already completed by the Acronis Foundation’s School Initiative, four more schools are now under construction in Guatemala, Senegal, Laos and Peru.
