Kulczyk Foundation, a Polish private family foundation, and Founders Pledge, a community of entrepreneurs committed to finding and funding solutions to global challenges, have launched a new report on period poverty. A bloody problem: period poverty, why we need to end it and how to do it - which reviews the current state of funding and solutions to ending period poverty - finds that there is no unified approach to data collection, fundraising or implementation of period poverty programmes.

The film “Supernova”, directed by Bartosz Kruhlik, received the Kulczyk Foundation Award at the 13th International Festival of Independent Cinema Mastercard Off Camera. The award was granted as part of the Polish Feature Film Competition. Kulczyk Foundation was the Main Partner of the festival.

Women after breast reconstruction, schoolgirls lacking the access to sanitary products while on period, women and girls with disabilities who cannot use specialized gynecological wards, the victims of violence from Belarus and farmers’ wives – they all benefit from the financial support granted as part of the 8th Kulczyk Foundation Grant Competition. As many as 11 projects will receive PLN 250,000 in total.

With the beginning of the new school year, Kulczyk Foundation launched another edition of the Yellow Plate programme - a support programme for the child nutrition system. 350 educational and care facilities from all over Poland applied. Thanks to this, as part of 5th edition of Yellow Plate programme, around 15,000 children will receive almost 2 million healthy and delicious meals!
