Partnership Summary

Cisco students from the Sederot program in Israel

Salesforce.com/Foundation originally sponsored the establishment of 10 Networking Academies (9 in Israel and 1 in the West Bank town of Ramallah). With the aim to foster the peace process, academies located in border town communities in areas on Palestinian and Israeli borders were selected. Through this partnership, students from poor communities, culturally integrated schools and especially girls were given access to the Academy Program. Since the launch of that program, Salesforce.com/foundation has given additional donations of PCs to support the Academy Program in needy areas.
