Who do we help and how to receive our help?

The Polish Foundation for Africa helps

The Po­lish Fo­un­da­tion for Afri­ca helps, whe­re others can­not or are not wil­ling to do so.

We stri­ve for our help to work long-term. We bu­ild and re­no­va­te farms, he­alth cen­tres, wells and scho­ols. We chan­ge the li­ves of the re­si­dents the­re for years to co­me. Ho­we­ver, we al­so help when the ne­ed ar­ri­ves for qu­ick and ef­fec­ti­ve ac­tions. This is true of Ma­da­ga­scar, whe­re chil­dren are sta­rving. In such ca­ses im­me­dia­te help is ne­ces­sa­ry.

We con­ti­nu­ously are lo­oking for in­te­re­sting, con­struc­ti­ve and ne­eded pro­jects in Afri­ca, in which we co­uld en­ga­ge our­se­lves. We mo­stly fo­cus on:

  • Fi­nan­cing the con­struc­tion of scho­ols, wells, wa­ter­works, ho­spi­tals, farms and other bu­il­dings se­rving the lo­cal communities,
  • Sup­por­ting ac­tions, which help the growth of the eco­no­my, in­c­lu­ding the de­ve­lop­ment of the lo­cal corporations,
  • Fun­ding the edu­ca­tion of po­orer re­si­dents of Africa,
  • As­si­sting with edu­ca­tio­nal in­i­tia­ti­ves and tho­se, which ena­ble ac­cess to the scho­oling system.

We thus in­vi­te or­ga­ni­sa­tions ope­ra­ting in Afri­ca to col­la­bo­ra­te with the Po­lish Fo­un­da­tion for Afri­ca. He­re you will find ne­ces­sa­ry do­cu­ments to sub­mit a mo­tion. All com­ple­te forms ma­il to: projekty@pomocafryce.org or to the ad­dress of he­adqu­ar­ters of the Fo­un­da­tion. We ask all the pro­jects to be de­scri­bed, the­ir im­por­tan­ce expla­ined, the lo­ca­tion and be­ne­fi­cia­ries sta­ted, along with the num­ber of pe­ople, who will use it after re­ali­sa­tion of the pro­ject, its cost and the expec­ta­tion of fun­ding from us. We al­so ask you to spre­ad the in­for­ma­tion abo­ut the po­ssi­bi­li­ty of fun­ding by the Fo­un­da­tion of si­mi­lar pro­jects. If you know and pe­ople wor­king in fa­vo­ur of Afri­ca (vo­lun­ta­ries, mis­sio­na­ries, etc.), we wo­uld be gra­te­ful for pas­sing the in­for­ma­tion on­to them.

Be­twe­en 2013 and 2022 the Fo­un­da­tion ac­com­pli­shed over 300 pro­jects in 20 co­un­tries, fo­cu­sing on fun­ding the con­struc­tion or re­no­va­tion of scho­ols, wells, con­struc­tion or equ­ip­ping of cli­nics, la­bo­ra­to­ries and ho­spi­tals. The Fo­un­da­tion is most eager to fi­nan­ce pro­jects, which gi­ve the po­ssi­bi­li­ty of the lo­cal or­ga­ni­sa­tion, hel­ping the com­mu­ni­ty be­co­ming self- ‑suf­fi­cient (fo­od or fi­nan­cial-wi­se — eg. a mill in He­lo­ta in To­go or a farm for an or­pha­na­ge in Mam­pi­ko­ny in Ma­da­ga­scar). The Fo­un­da­tion al­so funds emer­gen­cy pro­jects (eg. fe­eding du­ring fa­mi­ne in Burundia).

4‑storey Polish Hospital (100 beds) in Antsirabe in Madagascar.

In 2018 the Fo­un­da­tion or­ga­ni­sed a me­di­cal mis­sion to Ant­si­ra­be in Ma­da­ga­scar. 7 do­ctors per­for­med over 400 pa­edia­tric con­sul­ta­tions and over 60 sur­ge­ries. The Fo­un­da­tion al­so left me­di­cal equ­ip­ment worth 17 tho­usand PLN in the ho­spi­tal.

About the Polish Foundation for Africa

So far, our big­gest pro­ject is the con­struc­tion of a 4‑storey Po­lish Ho­spi­tal (100 beds) in Ant­si­ra­be in Ma­da­ga­scar. We are cur­ren­tly bu­il­ding a se­cond ho­spi­tal, in Mam­pi­ko­ny. The first sta­ge of con­struc­tion, with an area of 1700 sq m, is now ready.

7 doctors performed over 400 paediatric consultations

Ka­bu­la Nka­lan­go Ma­san­ja — an ac­ti­vist for the ri­ghts of pe­ople suf­fe­ring from al­bi­nism. It tells how, after a bru­tal at­tack, she left the ro­le of a vic­tim be­hind and be­gan to chan­ge the world for the bet­ter.
You must li­sten to this ama­zing young wo­man! The Fo­un­da­tion fun­ded ho­me fur­ni­shings for chil­dren with al­bi­nism in Mwan­za, Tan­za­nia, whe­re Ka­bu­la lives.

The construction of wells

The con­struc­tion of wells oc­cu­pies a spe­cial pla­ce among the com­ple­ted pro­jects. The Fo­un­da­tion has so far im­ple­men­ted over 100 such in­ve­st­ments, in­c­lu­ding both de­ep wells and dug wells, and in so­me ca­ses al­so ne­ces­sa­ry in­fra­struc­tu­re. A si­gni­fi­cant part of the­se wells was bu­ilt in Madagascar.

VIP pro­gram – ha­ve your well! It is po­ssi­ble to fund an en­ti­re well in Ma­da­ga­scar. Abo­ve all, it is the sa­tis­fac­tion of ha­ving fun­ded an en­ti­re pro­ject that chan­ges the li­ves of hun­dreds of pe­ople. It has be­co­me a cu­stom that the Do­nor cho­oses the na­me or pa­tron of the well. After the well is bu­ilt, the Spon­sor re­ce­ives pho­tos do­cu­men­ting its ope­ning or use. The cost of bu­il­ding one de­ep well is abo­ut 4500–5000 eu­ro and the pump and exter­nal fi­ni­shing abo­ut 1200 euro.
