GEnius Academy
Hearty Foundation and GE Healthcare

Hearty Foundation and EPAM
With the support of EPAM, we carried out a fantastic project from April to June 2023, inviting 20 of our beneficiaries to the world of IT. EPAM employees independently designed workshops on basic programming in Scratch and invited children and young people to their headquarters to spend creative time together.
Young Entrepreneur Academy

25 children and young people from across Poland took part in the Young Entrepreneur Academy project. They enjoyed engaging in 11 thematic workshops centered on education of the future, covering topics such as marketing, design, analytics, and project management.
You can do IT
Hearty Foundation and Cisco
You can do… many things! They can do IT! In early September 2020, we executed the Cisco project, which we previously featured. Nineteen children satisfied their thirst for knowledge (and enjoyed some pizza too!) while acquiring new skills.
Charity Cruise on the Vistula River
Hearty Foundation, JCI Kraków, and Fracthon Development

We've Arranged a Great Year for the Kids
Hearty Foundation and Aspergo
The goal of the campaign was to create better conditions for the development of children from foster care and educational institutions. To provide children with a comfortable place to learn, with comfortable chairs, and appropriately sized desks, we organized a collection of office furniture and electronics from companies and encouraged them to make donations.
My Job in the Future…
Hearty Foundation and LOTTO Foundation
In the initiative „My Future Profession: Graphic Designer/Roboticist” beneficiaries from foster care and educational institutions in the Lower Silesian and Lesser Poland regions took part. Starting in January, they delved into the intricacies of cutting-edge technologies through workshops in graphic design and robotics, overseen by professionals from the IT industry.

Programming Workshops with ARC
Hearty Foundation and ARC Software
The project involved 7 participants, aged 12-16, interested in programming and a future career in the IT industry. The series of three workshops included about 2 hours of meetings and lasted for 2 weeks.
Coding at Paladin Software

During the programming workshops in Scratch, our children created their first games under the guidance of programmers. Using a highly intuitive tool, they completed individual tasks step by step. Scratch is an educational program that teaches programming through fun.
#IT_from_Heart
Hearty Foundation and WebMakers Software House
The concept behind #IT_from_Heart is to assist children from foster homes and challenging family situations. Their life circumstances often pose obstacles to a promising start and hinder access to resources that could nurture their interest in programming and the IT industry. The campaign kicks off in late September 2020, with the official distribution of laptops scheduled for the end of November.
Build and Support Self-Worth
Hearty Foundation
At Hearty, we take joy in bringing smiles to the faces of kids and young people. And, naturally, we find satisfaction when, through the commitment of our volunteers and ourselves, our beneficiaries acquire new and valuable skills. Certainly, a sense of self-worth is among those valuable things.
First Step in IT
Hearty Foundation and Capgemini
A few months prior, even before the holidays, the notion sprouted in the mind of Capgemini employee Joanna Kmiotek to assist underprivileged children. During that period, she coincidentally came across the „First Step in IT” project orchestrated by the Hearty Foundation, marking the beginning of a collaboration that culminated in impactful activities for children from institutions in Krakow.
Hearty Young Leaders
Hearty Foundation
At Hearty, we’ve observed a common challenge among young individuals – a shortage of positive role models and the motivation to initiate action. Moreover, when they do express the desire to take action, they often struggle with a lack of ideas about what specific steps to take. This project is our response to these challenges.
Save me – Your Planet, Earth
Hearty Foundation and JCI
The average Pole produces as much as 350 kg of waste annually! Unfortunately, a significant portion of this waste still finds its way into ditches, forests, and parks. Together with JCI Kraków, we have addressed this issue by conducting local area clean-up activities, aiming to inspire our beneficiaries to take better care of our planet, Earth.
The World of Deaf People
Hearty Foundation
Did you know that 3 million people with hearing impairments live in Poland? Do you think that’s a lot or a little? Or perhaps the question was poorly framed? Maybe we should rather ask how many people in Poland know how to communicate with people suffering from hearing impairments or being deaf?
First Steps in IT in Iwanowice
Hearty Foundation
In mid-September 2019, in the Iwanowice Municipality near Krakow, we launched an educational project called „First Steps in IT.” The project was promoted from August, and any student aged 8-16 could participate.
