PEOPLE CANNOT LiVE WITHOUT A HOME

That’s why we run a proactive community center for people in migration contexts. A place for work and rest, growth, and real opportunities to choose. We support people in regaining autonomy and rebuilding independence – on their own terms.

WHY US?

01.

WE KNOW THE CRISIS FIRSTHAND

The foundation is run mostly by women united by a shared goal: supporting people experiencing the refugee crisis, especially women from Ukraine. Today we employ women who are our first beneficiaries.

WE CHANGE LIVES

People who come to Świetlica often call it their second home. Step by step, they regain strength here, rebuild their place in society and the economy, and often grow strong enough to support others.

We create lasting change by supporting people affected by war and forced displacement. We help them build a new life and home – wherever that may be. This is how we stand for democracy.
