Poland – Lunches during coronavirus pandemic

Providing warm, nutritional meals to needy children at their homes within the Yellow Plate programme during the coronavirus pandemic.

THE ISSUE OUTLINED

During the coronavirus pandemic and with limited free movement, The Kulczyk Foundation, along with its social partners, are running an initiative of providing food packages to children who take part in the Yellow Plate programme. Prior to the pandemic, the meals, financed by the Foundation, were distributed through state schools and care and education centres. Now that these institutions are closed during the coronavirus pandemic, this is no longer possible.

CURRENT PROJECT

Since mid-April 2020 the Foundation has been cooperating with British Primary School of Wilanow. Thanks to this cooperation meals are distributed every day to the homes of needy children in Warsaw and its outskirts. The meals are prepared in the school’s canteen by the school’s chef, who previously cooked meals for the pupils. The cooperation has a financial aspect – Kulczyk Foundation and British Primary School of Wilanow share the cost of the food purchases. There are other charities involved: Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci (Children’s Friends Association), Caritas of Warsaw – Praga Diocese and Stowarzyszenie “Serduszko dla Dzieci” (Association “Heart for Children”). Their employees identify the most needy children and their families. They also take care of delivering the meals every day with all necessary safety measures.

We invite you to support our project run along with British Primary School of Wilanow.

You can make a special purpose donation to our bank account: PL 92 1090 1362 0000 0001 2274 9213 SWIFT (BIC): WBKPPLPP (with the “Coronavirus lunches”) or use PayU. 

We will transfer 100% of the payments to the indicated purpose.

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
