Social Engagement and Charitable Initiatives
A key part of our sustainability program involves supporting NGOs, non-profits, and grassroots initiatives around the world, with a focus on projects where our people and technology can empower meaningful, sustainable change.
Stimulating entrepreneurship among high school graduates in Benin
Our long-standing initiative, the Benin Summer School, aims to improve education levels and employment prospects for less advantaged teenagers in Benin. With opportunities to access university scholarships, participants can develop the skills they need to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Setting Beninese women on a path to financial independence
The Bananas for Every Woman project provides women in Benin's Borgou region with plants as well as training sessions in banana cultivation, crop processing, budgeting, and sales skills. The aim of the initiative is twofold: to improve nutrition in the community and give local women more financial autonomy.
Ensuring access to vital services for displaced communities
Non-profit organization Maggie Program builds sturdy pop-up shelters that can serve as schools, health centers, dormitories, and more. The double walls of the tents are filled with local materials, such as sand, and held together by 3D-printed connectors that offer strength without damaging the fabric.
