Książnica Płocka is another library selected in the ‘CSR - dziesięć na dziesięć (CSR – ten out of ten)’ contest organized by PEKAES in cooperation with Kulczyk Foundation and Zaczytani.org.

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.
