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.

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 were frightened when she fell over. But the really chilling thing was the silence when, instead of crying, she didn’t get up. You could feel that the whole world was holding its breath. We only keep in touch with Melat’s dad via WhatsApp, as he has never stopped looking to the farthest corners of […]
