Teachstream's mission is to offer disadvantaged children in Romania 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 two new centres in Bucharest, operated in partnership with local Child Protective Services.
Since the beginning of the project, our team has helped more than 200 children on their academic journeys. Few skilled full-time teachers and many enthusiasts' volunteers are currently contributing to this wonderful project.
In 2023, we expanded our educational services with the addition of the new Sfanta Maria centre, bringing the total to six. We enrolled 40 more children and welcomed an additional IT teacher, increasing our teaching staff to six. Teachstream continues to be fully funded by EveryMatrix.
By 2025, Teachstream has grown to 11 centres and one HQ, reaching 370 children, with eight full-time teachers delivering classes in Computer Science, English, and Mathematics, supported by a €333,000 annual budget.
In September 2024, EveryMatrix launched the Academy for Heroes, a new fully EveryMatrix-funded project aimed to help Ukraine war veterans transition to develop new careers in technology, 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 organises courses designed by leading IT industry experts, allowing former military personnel to gain the knowledge and skills needed to form 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 are actively involved in the employment of veterans after they have completed courses.
