Two years ago, the world was shocked by the news of the largest construction catastrophe in the contemporary textile industry. In the capital of Bangladesh, Dhaka, an eight-story factory collapsed, leaving 1,137 people dead and 2,500 permanently injured. The fatalities and casualties also included children. This tragedy drew the attention of the world to the issue of exploitation and child labor. When shooting the first episode of the 2nd season of “The Domino Effect,” we visited Dhaka and an organization called Educo, which helps working children find time for education.

Iraqi Kurdistan is the next destination selected by Dominika Kulczyk and the crew of TVN. A French non-governmental organization, ACTED, acts here to help people, including refugees, affected by military conflicts.

VZW BISZ is a Belgian non-governmental organization that offers aid to developing countries. As part of a project called Solar without Borders, it reaches out to places lacking electricity, where it installs solar kiosks to provide villages, hospitals, schools and orphanages with access to energy.

The next location for Dominika Kulczyk and the crew of TVN will be Uganda – more precisely: the Agonga village in the district of Gulu. For almost 20 years, this region was debilitated by one of the longest Ugandan military conflicts in several decades. The havoc which unfolded in the country affected mostly children. In response, an organization aimed at helping them, the Childcare Development Organization Uganda (CDOU), was established. Kulczyk Foundation decided to give them a helping hand.
