Social Responsibility
Supporting disadvantaged Indonesian children in education
Currently we are supporting educatiing more than 15 disadvantaged Indonesian children that has no access to an education due to high fees for school. We believe our contribution will help to make a long-term difference in the life of a child. Through the sponsorship we are empowering the children to make a better life for themselves and their community, allowing them to break out of the cycle of poverty and despair.

GSM Systems Builds Computer
Lab in Rural Belize
GSM Systems partnered with a school in rural Belize to create and construct a computer lab for their students. The school system in Belize is very basic and a large percentage of children do not attend school past primary years. While the schools in Belize are free until the age of 13, related expenses including enrollment fees, books and school supplies are very financially restricting for poor families leaving very little room for educational materials and items like computers. GSM Systems feels that having computer skills is essential to success in today’s high-tech world but also makes learning more accessible to younger people. Education is the greatest gift you can give someone and the best way to end the cycle of poverty.
