And off they went!

Rwanda

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent, and the most densely populated one. There are around 463 inhabitants per 1km2 here! Due to its natural landscape, Rwanda is sometimes referred to as a land of a thousand hills, and due to its history, also a land of a thousand problems.

Overview:
  • around 12 million inhabitants
  • in 1994, it was a place of genocide – in 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi tribe were murdered, 2 million escaped from the country
  • agricultural country – farming generates about 63% of income from export (including coffee, tea, bananas)
In 2023, we organized long-term palliative care for

38

persons in the country
We finance the education of

28

children of employees and deceased patients

And off they went! There are already two of our high-fivers in Africa, who, by getting involved in the “High-FIVE!” project, won the chance to see our projects with their own eyes!

They started with Kasisi, the largest children’s home in Zambia, which is cared for by our sister foundation. This is where it all started, in Kasisi. 10 years ago, we became convinced of how great things we can do when we act together. From this certainty, a year later the Good Factory was born.

From Kasisi, Marta and Marcin will fly to Rwanda. They will meet with the Sisters of the Angels, who in Kabuga run the only hospice in the entire country. During the week-long trip, they will have the opportunity to see that it doesn’t take big donations, that even a fiver can work wonders, provided it’s given regularly. It is thanks to these small donations, which we keep asking you for, that we are already among the needy in 11 countries on 3 continents.

By giving us a high-five once a week, you get a chance to see for yourself in a year, like Marta and Marcin, how our projects work. But that’s not all. Every day you will be confident that your small donation works and saves someone’s life and health. You’ll be closest to the front lines among war victims in need of warmth and food in Ukraine, you’ll be feeding kids suffering from hunger disease in the Congo, creating new educational opportunities for young women in Senegal and giving farm work to residents of a deserted area in Burkina Faso. You’ll donate a warm meal to sick and terrified newcomers on the Greek island of Lesbos.

We’ll prove to you that it’s worth helping, and you can’t spend your fiver any better.

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.
