Foundation

Education Foundation

The Accton Education Foundation, established in 1999 to fulfill corporate social responsibility, contributed NT$1.73 million in 2023 to causes that promote diverse education and improve the educational environment. The foundation aims to cultivate respect for diversity from a young age, establish positive attitudes, develop critical thinking skills, and assist in making thoughtful decisions about social actions, all directed towards achieving social equity and justice.

Introducing Diverse Perspectives, Respecting Differences

Promoting Menstrual Education for a Friendly and Gender Equal Society

Continuing from the 2022 collaboration with the With Red Foundation, in 2023 the Accton Cultural and Educational Foundation hosted a menstrual education workshop for teachers in the Hsinchu area. The event trained 32 elementary school teachers from 22 schools, indirectly benefiting 15,570 students. Additionally, five Hsinchu elementary schools participated in demonstration classes, reaching 194 students with direct teaching about menstruation by 16 trained teachers.

The Accton Cultural and Educational Foundation also donated 30 sets of menstrual education teaching aids and 750 books to the schools involved in the workshop and demonstration classes, addressing the lack of educational materials on menstrual health. This initiative aims to enable teachers to continue promoting menstrual education within their schools. Furthermore, a LINE group for elementary school teachers was established to provide ongoing support, facilitating their implementation of menstrual education and addressing their teaching challenges. Through school education, students are guided from understanding their bodies to gaining knowledge about menstruation, thereby fostering a menstruation-friendly society that supports menstrual equity.

Long-term Assistance for Disadvantaged Children, Enhancing Learning Quality

Subsidizing Meals for Disadvantaged
Children to Improve Learning Focus

Since 2014, Accton has rallied its employees to sponsor a year’s worth of nutritious breakfasts for over 1,200 disadvantaged schoolchildren in the Hsinchu area. In 2023, a total of 15,500 nutritious breakfasts were provided to children in 18 elementary and junior high schools. We believe that providing a nutritious breakfast can improve the children’s focus in learning and give them an opportunity to change their futures.

Since 2016, employees of Accton Group have been long-term sponsors of dinner costs for after-school tutoring classes for disadvantaged children organized by the Haikou Community Association in Pingtung County.

In 2023, they supported evening meals for 30 children, ensuring they have a balanced diet and are not left to eat irregularly or fill up on high-calorie snacks due to their parents’ work schedules, which could lead to nutritional imbalances.

We provide long-term support for the “Accton Hope Project of Education” at the Hsinchu Family Support Center, focusing on providing necessary educational expenses for students from two junior high schools in Wufeng and Jianshi. In 2023, the project assisted 150 children in overcoming adverse economic conditions, enabling them to attend school with peace of mind. This initiative aims to provide these children with the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through education.

To facilitate athletes’ concentration on training and maximizing their potential, the Accton Cultural and Educational Foundation has been backing the archery team of Zai Xi Elementary School in Hsinchu City. This assistance encompasses initiatives such as employee donations, geared towards offering sustained support to gradually fulfill the team’s equipment requirements. By ensuring a secure and conducive training environment for these young athletes, the foundation nurtures the unfolding of their potential beyond academic achievements through the promotion of sporting pursuits. In 2023, a total of NT$75,000 was allocated to relieve the athletes of any concerns regarding participation in training and competitions, with the hope that these young athletes might one day reach the pinnacle of sports and bring honor to the nation.
