EverChain and its employees believe in giving back to the local and global community. Each year, with the full support of the company, members of the team participate in and contribute to a wide variety of philanthropic and charitable initiatives aimed at supporting causes close to their hearts. The most recent example is from our Chief Technology Officer, Renato Marteleto. Renato, his wife, and two colleagues just returned from a week-long humanitarian mission to the Ubuntu Nation at Dzaleka Refugee Camp in Malawi, Africa, organized by the Fraternity Without Borders (FWB) nonprofit chapters in Canada and in the USA.
