Poland
Homelessness remains a major social issue in Poland. Tens of thousands of people living on the streets experience social exclusion. At Good Factory, we believe that every person, regardless of their past, has the inalienable right to dignity and respect.
Overview:
- there are more than 30,000 homeless people in Poland. 84% of them are men.
-
most of them live in the Mazowieckie, Śląskie and Pomorskie voivodeships
-
every year, more than 100 people in Poland die due to cold-related causes
-
the most common reasons for homelessness are: familial conflict, addiction issues, and eviction
In the winter of 2024, we handed out to the homeless

packs with jackets, sweatshirts, shoes, neck warmers, hats, gloves, sleeping bags, thermoses, and self-heating meals
We have provided the Warsaw City Guard with a substantial
supply of warm clothing

Dear friends, thanks to your generosity, our warehouse is overflowing!
The residents of Bodzanów, Rudawa, and surrounding villages are well-stocked with food, bottled water, hygiene products, and cleaning supplies for months to come. Our priority now is to make space for other essential aid, such as power generators, dehumidifiers, stoves, and building materials needed to rebuild homes. We’ve saved lives and health; now, we’re focusing on rebuilding.
We encourage representatives from all towns in the Nysa county which are still in need of food, water, hygiene products, or cleaning supplies to get in touch with us!
