Giving back to the community is deeply rooted in EveryMatrix’s identity.
Visit Teachstream Website (formerly known as Kids Academy)
We are proud initiators and supporters of the Teachstream (formerly Kids Academy) programme that we founded and launched in 2015. This has supplied much needed funds and resources to children who might otherwise never have the opportunity to develop IT skills.
Teachstream’s mission is to offer disadvantaged children in Romania with the chance to access quality education in Computer Science, Mathematics and English.
Teachstream ran for four years in two of Bucharest’s Child Protective Services day-care centres. In 2019, the fifth year of our activity, we opened a new centre, while in 2021 we added a further two new centres in Bucharest, operated in partnership with local Child Protective Services.
Since the beginning of the project, our team helped more than 200 children in their academic journeys. Few skilled full-time teachers and many enthusiasts’ volunteers currently contributing to this wonderful project.
In 2023, we expanded our educational services adding the new “Sfanta Maria” center, complementing our existing five centres. We enrolled an additional 40 children in our program and introduced an additional IT teacher, increasing our teaching staff to six. Teachstream remains fully funded by EveryMatrix, with a total contribution of 264,060 EURO in 2023.
Visit Academy for Heroes Website
In September 2024, EveryMatrix launched ‘Academy for Heroes’, a new fully EveryMatrix-funded project aimed at helping veterans of the war in Ukraine transition to develop new careers in technology has launched in Lviv. The NGO, spearheaded by EveryMatrix, was inspired by its 300+ employees, based in Lviv in Ukraine.
There are hundreds of thousands of combatants in Ukraine, a number that is rising every day. Following their return from war, sometimes with serious injuries, many need social adaptation and work that can provide a more certain future.
The Academy for Heroes will organise courses designed by leading experts in the IT industry, enabling former military personnel to gain the knowledge and skills needed for successful IT careers.
Beyond its primary goal of equipping veterans with IT skills, it also aims to help them successfully integrate into today’s labour market. EveryMatrix and several other local IT companies will be involved in the employment of veterans after they have completed courses.
We continue to develop and support many social and environmental activities including our ongoing support for our Ukrainian staff with €1.75m donated to date (end of 2023) helping fund housing costs and other crucial day-to-day needs.
