Ocalenie Foundation has been supporting people with experience of migration, including refugeeism, to build a good, safe life in Poland since 2000. We provide assistance to all foreigners, regardless of which border they arrived in Poland through and from which regions of the world they come from.
The heart of the Ocalenie Foundation is the Help Center for Foreigners in Warsaw, which has been providing free assistance to foreigners since 2004. This assistance includes support in day-to-day matters, such as contacting offices or schools (provided by cultural mentors, working in several languages), legal assistance, psychological assistance, and career counseling.
Key initiatives of the Ocalenie Foundation also include:
- Free Polish language courses for adults
- Humanitarian aid at the Polish-Belarusian border
- The Refugees Welcome Polska integration and housing programme for people at risk of homelessness
- The ‘Wiedza do potęgi’ tutoring programme for children at risk of dropping out of school
- Vocational activation programmes for adult foreign nationals
- Advocacy work supporting an inclusive and humanitarian migration policy
- Public education: workshops, training courses
