Our people after hours
Cooperation with the Empowering Children Foundation
We have been cooperating with the Empowering Children Foundation for many years. We ran in the Warsaw Marathon, we auctioned items with soul, we persuaded Serock residents to send charitable text messages, we dedicated songs to ourselves in a listeners’ choice concert, we organized a collection of items needed by the Foundation’s establishments.
Every zloty we raised in a thousand ways was allocated for the Foundation’s activities. We did all this so that the Foundation could give even more strength to the children
Noble Gift
I have organized the “Noble Gift” action at our company since 2011. This widely popular charitable project consists in providing economic support to families and individuals suffering from a difficult life situation. It is not easy to choose the people who will get the gifts; the process is accompanied by tears because each history touches the heart. After the choice, we divided the needs from the list among ourselves and once we have gathered everything we try to make a beautiful package.
Our group becomes larger with every winter. I am impressed by the good intentions and the big heart of all the people involved. Kola, Grażynka, Asia, Asia, Łada, Emilka, Marzenka, Beatka, Magda, Marcela, Magda, Paulina – it’s amazing to do so much good for others together.
“Clothes to give away”
People of House of Skills care about our planet.
With the use of the “Clothes to give away” fundraising platform we gathered clothes that we no longer wore. Each kilogram of clothing suitable for reuse was exchanged for a financial donation. We transferred the funds we raised in this way to the EKOMINI Foundation, which deals with education in the field of entrepreneurship, economics for children, sustainable development, and ecology. In line with the circular economy and the EU Directives on waste management, we give a second or even a third life to clothes. This year we have collected over 200 kg of clothes for this purpose and we are planning to repeat this action.
Dog Angel Asylum Foundation
It’s been 7 years since I went into a dog box at the Dog Angel Asylum Foundation in Falenica neighborhood in Warsaw for the first time. I will never forget this beautiful moment and how many tears of affection it caused.
Also my colleagues became interested in volunteering at the shelter: they wanted to take part in walks and collect items for the dogs. During one of our visits at the shelter together, one girl dog caught my friend’s eye so much that within a week she decided to adopt the dog. Since then, Mimi has become a House of Skills team member.
Childbirth with Dignity Foundation
We have been actively involved in the Childbirth with Dignity Foundation for more than ten years.
The primary objective of the organization is to improve the level of perinatal care in obstetric units in the whole of Poland. Its activities include in particular advocacy and monitoring of women’s rights by means of surveys, actions, www.gdzierodzic.info website; releasing publications and broadly understood education of both medical personnel and women.
As volunteers, we participate in numerous actions: we help organize the Foundation’s conferences for midwives, and we run the Foundation’s booth during external events – we talk, inform, educate.
