The High-Fivers are hitting the road!

Rwanda

Rwanda is one of the smallest countries on the African continent and also the most densely populated. There are about 525 inhabitants per square kilometre! Because of its natural landscape, Rwanda is known as the “land of a thousand hills”, and because of its history, also the “land of a thousand problems”.

Overview:
  • around 14 million inhabitants
  • in 1994, it was the scene of a genocide — in just 100 days, about 1 million people of the Tutsi ethnic group were murdered and 2 million fled the country
  • an agricultural country — about 62% of the working population is employed in farming (coffee, tea, bananas)
In 2024, we organized long-term palliative care for

33

persons in the country
We finance the education of

27

children of employees and deceased patients

Finally!!! Let’s go! The High-Fivers are hitting the road! After a forced hiatus on our High Five project trips, we’re back in the air! As a reminder, just set up a standing order for PLN 5 a week and support one more of our projects on a regular basis for a chance to go with us to Africa!
With us, there are no donations too small. For us it is not just a small donation, but as much as PLN 5 a week! Last year, they brought in a total of PLN 727 805. In emergency situations, such as when a rebellion took control of an area that comprises a hospital and a nutrition centre in the Democratic Republic of Congo, they allow us to continue to running the hospital. Your fives are not acupuncture, but a solid bandage for the problems of our charges. A high-five given regularly can work wonders. In March, Marta Błeszyńska and Marcin Biegun will see this for themselves. They will visit an orphanage in Zambia and a hospice project in Rwanda.
The amount you raise allows us, for example, to fund 48,520 therapeutic meals for children suffering from hunger disease or 14,556 life-saving blood transfusions in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It’s also 22 054 people cured of malaria. That’s the equivalent of 121,300 loaves of bread for the neediest victims of the war in Ukraine.
By setting up a standing order for PLN 5 a week, you can be sure of two things:
1. you will not notice this expense at all
2. you will save more than one life with it.
Give us a high-five! and see how little it takes to produce a lot of Good! Give us a high-five regularly and next year you will have the chance to see for yourself!

Urgent help for seniors

Let’s save Laudy and Jean from homelessness

Their entire life savings have been wiped out by the economic crisis. They haven’t been able to pay rent for nine months. If the landlord loses patience, they’ll end up on the street - with nowhere to turn. We don’t want them counting down the days until eviction!
