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.

The aim of Dominika Kulczyk’s journey to Nicaragua is to help the non-governmental organization Bridges to Prosperity reconstruct Paso Real Bridge. The organization is involved in the construction of bridges in several countries worldwide. It acts in those places where the geographical isolation of people is one of the drivers of local poverty; as a consequence, these populations have limited access to education and healthcare.

This time, Dominika Kulczyk and the TVN crew head to Tbilisi, Georgia. This is where Caritas Georgia, an independent non-governmental organization, is active under the leadership of head priest Krzysztof Kowal. It is due to his initiative that the first 24-hour day-care center/overnight shelter in the country has been established for children working and living on the street. Most of the children come from very poor families. They are forced to work and frequently beaten and abused, especially when they are not able to bring in the expected amounts of money.

This time, Dominika Kulczyk and the TVN film crew are setting off to Cambodia to present the activity of an American non-governmental organization called Habitat for Humanity. The organization has been building houses for the poorest in the world for almost 40 years. Since 2009, when the authorities closed down a local landfill Steung Meanchey in the capital city Phnom Penh, hundreds of families have been left destitute. Many of them have resettled on the land of the former landfill, and their daily existence is marked by inhumane conditions and health hazards.
