Krzyżowa for Ukraine

Krzyżowa and partners for Ukraine! Thanks to the GHJ Foundation.

The American GHJ Foundation raised money for Ukraine in a collection among GHJ employees. Their aim is to support organisations in Ukraine, as well as in neighbouring countries, that provide care, housing and education for refugees.

Among the recipients was our Foundation. Therefore it went through the registration process and was recognised as a charitable organisation in the USA.

For the Ukrainian School in Warsaw, Krzyżowa was supposed to be the site of a "Green School," but the December snow turned the project into a "White School."
For a week, teachers of the Ukrainian school held regular classes with their students in Krzyżowa, supplemented by tours of the region and art workshops. Carpentry, painting and acrobatics workshops were offered to rock the youngsters' creative talents.

The 156th day of the war in Ukraine is passing. And in Krzyzowa life is going on for our guests from Ukraine. We try to offer help in various areas. Despite the vacations, the children want to learn Polish and, thanks to funds raised by the staff and employees of Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, they practice Polish grammar twice a week in two age groups, learn new vocabulary and play in Polish.
And in the afternoons, their parents also study Polish intensively and benefit from career counseling - this week they discover how to start their own business in Poland, how to prepare a good business plan and how to deal with formalities. This activity is taking place thanks to funding from the Polish-American Freedom Foundation under the Supporting Ukraine program implemented by the Education for Democracy Foundation.
Support for refugees and refugee women from Ukraine is a great challenge, which we manage to meet thanks to the commitment of our team and the financial support of our donors. The needs for organizing such assistance are enormous. Therefore, we continue to ask for your support, which will allow us to continue our activities and provide assistance and security to families from Ukraine.

Krzyżowa for Ukraine, active first week of holidays! 

Almost four months have passed since the moment when the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe was qualified by the voivode of Lower Silesia and the municipality of Świdnica as an ad hoc accommodation for refugees from Ukraine. Since then, nearly 100 people from Ukraine have been staying in our center, more than half of whom are children. For families who have escaped from the war, we provide safe shelter, while organizing the possibility of education, development and active spending of free time.
