SCHULBAU - LOS MARANITOS

School construction in the Dominican Republic

Those who want to fight poverty must promote education. For this reason, we have dedicated ourselves to building a school in Los Maranitos in the Dominican Republic. From the first cornerstone to the last piece of chalk, we accompany the project to give the children of the region a chance to afford a better life thanks to education.

Project implementation

With the construction of the new school, RNT Education is creating a solution: A place for future-proof education throughout the year is being created right on the doorstep, with sanitary facilities, running water, a kitchen and more. In addition to the basic education for the young residents, the adults will also be able to participate, for example with environmental education, technology lessons or seminars on leadership qualification. In total, about 1,000 people benefit: the children of Los Maranitos, their relatives and all those who will get a new job as a result of the school construction.

Partnership beyond storage systems

After the start of the project we quickly received valuable support: The Acronis Cyber Foundation brings in 25 percent of the total costs for the school construction in addition to its experience! Thanks a lot!

Our commitment in Ettlingen

Education is also an important topic in our home country of Germany but it does has its weaknesses. It is not uncommon for states, municipalities and individual schools to lack technological equipment. Children and young people are not always being taught vital future-oriented subjects, often only acquiring technical and programming skills of their own accord.

Digitisation project

Digitisation and IT are more than just RNT’s passion. They are essential pillars of our future society, that’s why we promote the interest and skills of students right on our doorstep. Thanks to the donation of Arduino and Calliope sets, four schools in Ettlingen now have the opportunity to encourage young IT talent at an early age to build vital skills for the future. We will continue to expand this commitment in the future and will support many more schools in the region in this way.
