Nepalese children whose parents are sentenced to jail are in for a horrible time. Even though they committed no crime, they are kept in cells in conditions that are even worse than those of the convicts. They are treated as though they are invisible. We asked Dominika Kulczyk about the situation of these children and the possibility of providing support to the organizations taking care of them.

In Nepal, orphaned children are deprived of all of their rights. They are doomed to fight for survival on the street if other relatives don’t have a heart for them. Could there be anything worse than that? The answer is yes: if a child’s parents go to prison. Then the child has absolutely no future. This is why Kulczyk Foundation, an international organization headed by Dominika Kulczyk, has resolved to support organizations which look after children saved from prisons in Kathmandu.

Last year, the applications were coming in until the very last moment. This year, we have more money to hand out. The first Kulczyk Foundation Grant Contest of the year was launched on 1 March. There are available grants of up to PLN 25,000, but you need a really good project. “We have changed the rules to allow for maximum support of projects with clear objectives and the measures for their achievement,” stresses Kulczyk Foundation Managing Director Marta Schmude-Olczak.

Having nobody who believes in you or who see you as being important to them is a devastating experience. Especially for children or teenagers. This touching film is about dreams, mutual love from those close to you, and assistance. Kulczyk Foundation, an international organization, supports SOS Children’s Villages. This episode features one located near Siedlce. Together with Dominika Kulczyk, we will visit a family home established to save the emotions and happiness of abandoned children.
