Homelessness remains a major social issue in Poland. Tens of thousands of people living on the streets experience social exclusion. At Good Factory, we believe that every person, regardless of their past, has the inalienable right to dignity and respect.

Overview:
  • there are more than 30,000 homeless people in Poland. 84% of them are men.
  • most of them live in the Mazowieckie, Śląskie and Pomorskie voivodeships
  • every year, more than 100 people in Poland die due to cold-related causes
  • the most common reasons for homelessness are: familial conflict, addiction issues, and eviction

In the winter of 2023, we handed out

251

care packages with sleeping bags, coats and shoes to the homeless

29.12.2023

Joy and great festivity. That was the Christmas dinner for the wonderful guests: the poor, refugees and people in the crisis of homelessness, who struggle with poverty, hunger and the cold every day. We accompany them not only at Christmas, but Christmas is also, after all, about seeing the Newborn in everyone and offering him warmth and love.

The gathering was organised by the Community of Sant’Egidio Warsaw and hosted 400 people. Delicious food, carol singing, gifts and wishes for a prosperous, better and warmer year ahead. Wishes that no-one should feel alone. What our guests need most of all is to feel noticed, not transparent. With smiles, conversation and friendship, we restore their dignity. You beautifully accomplish this at our side by supporting the Warm Package every year, which has provided warmth to over 250 people this winter!

Thank you!!!

We need to dry out the buildings as quickly as possible

Urgent help for flood victims

The most vulnerable are the elderly and disabled, living in remote rural areas and small towns, where reaching them is difficult. You’ll be informed about every penny spent to help them. 100% of the funds raised will go directly towards targeted, precise aid tailored to the needs of those affected.
