Nicaragua, Caño Los Martínez

CONTEXT

Nicaragua is currently ranked as the 4th least-developed country in Latin America on the UN Human Development Index.

Poverty often comes with a lack of educational infrastructure for children. However, basic education is essential for children and their families to break the cycle of poverty.

Unfortunately, in Nicaragua only 55% of children complete primary school.

PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION

With joint forces at the Acronis Global Cyber Summit, October 13th – 16th 2019, enough funding was raised for a new school building in Nicaragua.

The newly built classrooms will provide a safe and suitable learning environment for more than 50 children from a local community. Moreover, proper sanitary facilities will reduce health risks, school drop-out rates and enable especially girls to stay in school.

Constructions are finished now and the classrooms are being used since the end of year 2020.
