The next destination Dominika Kulczyk visited was Madagascar. For many, this island is the epitome of paradise, with the sun, beautiful beaches, and unique flora and fauna. However, there is another side of Madagascar: It is one of the poorest countries in the world, with insufficient road infrastructure, healthcare and access to education. Azafady is a non-governmental organization which has been active locally for 20 years and so the Kulczyk Foundation decided to support it financially.

Dominika Kulczyk and the TVN film crew arrived in the Philippines just one month after the Haiyan typhoon, the most powerful typhoon in history to make landfall. The natural disaster claimed the lives of thousands, and it destroyed everything in its path, cutting many cities off from the world and leaving behind damage which the country has not yet been able to deal with. In order to rebuild people’s homes, the land first needs to be cleared of the rubble and put back in order.

‘The Domino Effect’ is a program about people helping other people. As part of the program, foundation employees and volunteers go to the poorest parts of the world to build a better reality and to show that sometimes one small change is enough to change a lot. “I believe that one gesture or one positive event will lead to a subsequent one. As a result, an avalanche of changes can occur – of positive changes. It is enough to have the courage and set in motion the first domino piece,” says program host Dominika Kulczyk.
