The To The Future Foundation works for the benefit of the local community in Wroclaw. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds and ages. The foundation supports children, teenagers, people at risk of social exclusion, people with disabilities, and their guardians. We focus on spreading and promoting European values such as democracy and human rights, supporting cultural and historical education among young citizens of Europe (including shaping the attitude of active citizens and volunteers), acting for tolerance, peace, and understanding between nations, promoting self-development through non-formal learning methodologies, and encouraging social inclusion by promoting lifelong education and the development of 21 competencies for underprivileged groups. Therefore, we organize and participate in local events, meetings, seminars, workshops, and exhibitions, and cooperate with non-governmental organizations and local authorities to improve healthy behaviors and attitudes, better mental health and well-being, and equalize economic opportunities and gender inequalities for women. We are also involved in voluntary service. We focus on building stronger communities by engaging young people to participate in local projects and cooperation to help ensure social inclusion, increase self-confidence, self-esteem, and enhance mutual understanding. One of our most important projects is "Disability via Art." This project aims to create a dedicated space where people with disabilities and seniors can actively participate in artistic workshops, breaking down societal barriers and promoting mutual growth through the transformative power of art. People with disabilities and seniors often face isolation, and their access to artistic expression and communal engagement is limited. This project seeks to address these challenges by providing an inclusive environment that encourages creative expression and social interaction. Overcoming preconceived notions about the abilities of individuals with disabilities is a key challenge, and the project aims to change perceptions through meaningful engagement. This year, we have also focused on the elderly. We have organized support groups, activities, and excursions for them to alleviate loneliness, poverty, and social exclusion. We realized how important it is because nobody wants to be alone, especially in their old age. By incorporating seniors into the art-centric initiative alongside individuals with disabilities, the project strives to boost seniors' sense of empowerment and involvement. Through artistic expression, seniors can discover a revitalized sense of purpose and connection, enriching their lives with meaningful experiences. To address the challenges at hand, we created a dedicated space that accommodates the unique needs of people with disabilities and seniors. This space serves as a hub for artistic workshops, fostering creativity, self-expression, and social interaction. This initiative, known as the "To The Future Disability via Art" project, is designed to address the issues of isolation and inactivity that often accompany these conditions. The core of the project involves conducting workshops tailored to the needs and interests of individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The aim is to create an inclusive environment that encourages active participation and combats the tendency for these individuals to stay at home, feeling excluded from broader social activities. In summary, the mission of the To The Future Foundation is to create a more inclusive and equitable society by supporting and empowering individuals at risk of social exclusion. We aim to foster social integration, promote lifelong education, and enhance the overall well-being of these individuals. By building stronger communities and encouraging positive relationships, we strive to create a future where everyone feels valued and included.

EHEES, Elephant Haven, European elephant sanctuary, is a sanctuary/retirement home for elephants from European zoos and circuses, which answers a legal need and requests from private owners. EHEES is a care center which offers the elephants a place for life and where their natural needs are respected and their diet is appropriate. It enables them to be re-socialized and rehabilitated in a protected environment. This is the true story of Gandhi and Delhi, Asian elephants, our two first retired residents in EHEES, the only elephant sanctuary in Europe. Indeed, in recent years, it has become both appropriate and necessary to create elephant placement centers in Europe. Private elephant owners, animal parks, zoos and other organizations may need a place for their elephant(s) to live. Almost all European countries ban wild animals from circuses, including France, where EHEES is situated. Bringing them back to their country of origin is not always possible. There was no place for housing the elephants in Europe. Retired elephants from zoos and circuses, like Gandhi and Delhi, our 2 first residents, have now a place for life. They, and the future other residents of Elephant Haven, need a lot of attention. Elephant Haven is expanding to be able to offer more elephants a place for life. Informative programmes about elephants and their behavior, in captivity and in the wild, will be organized to have a better understanding of elephants, as well as local fauna and flora. All this encourages a re-connection with nature and with all her creatures, to raise awareness and respect for the environment.

Rozowa Skrzyneczka is dedicated to addressing period poverty and promoting menstrual health education in Poland. Our mission is multifaceted: first and foremost, we strive to ensure that no individual is deprived of essential menstrual products due to financial constraints. Through strategic placements of pink boxes filled with free menstrual products in public spaces such as schools, community centers, and workplaces, we provide immediate relief and dignity to those in need. In addition to providing access to menstrual products, we are committed to raising awareness and destigmatizing menstruation through comprehensive educational programs. These initiatives include workshops and distribution of informational materials covering menstrual health, hygiene practices, and the socio-economic impacts of period poverty. By empowering individuals with knowledge, we aim to break down barriers of shame and misinformation surrounding menstruation. Furthermore, Rozowa Skrzyneczka actively engages with local governments, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to amplify our impact. Through collaborative efforts, we advocate for policies and practices that uphold the dignity of individuals experiencing menstruation and promote gender equality. Our organization operates with transparency and accountability, ensuring that donations and resources are effectively utilized to maximize our reach and support. At Rozowa Skrzyneczka, we believe that access to menstrual products and education is a fundamental human right. By addressing period poverty and promoting menstrual health, we strive to create a more inclusive and equitable society where menstruation is not a barrier to health, education, or social participation.

The basic goal of the "Africa Help" Foundation is to provide assistance to people affected by the effects of humanitarian crises, armed conflicts, natural disasters, situations threatening human life and health, and to provide them with health, technical and development assistance. The Foundation has the status of a public benefit organization. The foundation's main activity is to provide clean water and medical aid points with specialized medical staff in the field of prenatal and perinatal care, as well as educational and sanitary care for the world's poorest inhabitants. This activity is focused on Sub-Saharan Africa in the countries of Tanzania and Uganda. Diagnosed problems such as - educational deficiencies resulting in unnecessary deaths due to trivial reasons such as perinatal infection, or simple lack of hygiene leading to severe digestive system diseases resulting in death - we try to solve. We increase the knowledge of medical staff and medical workers in Tanzania in the field of modern medical solutions. That's why we educate doctors and nurses and plan to organize training in the use of ultrasound and simulation of medical procedures on phantoms for midwives and doctors. This role will be played by the Mother and Child Clinic in Tanzania. The multiannual cooperation program for 2016-2020 of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that in order to achieve the goals of protecting natural resources and promoting sustainable development, it is important to achieve the following results: improving water management, including increased access to water and sanitary infrastructure and promotion of hygiene for the inhabitants of Tanzania. We try to achieve this goal. After building the mother and child clinic, we will create a medical missionary volunteer service, whose primary role will be to organize hygiene education and prevent "dirty hands" diseases at the Oltotoi Clinic.
