LET’S HELP TOGETHER
Help our efforts to support Ukraine
Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the Club of Catholic Intelligentsia (KIK) in Warsaw has been offering help to those particularly affected by the crisis. Thanks to our ongoing cooperation with Ukrainian NGOs since 2014, we are experienced in and capable of offering help.
In our activities we build on our practice as a social organisation as well as on learning from our involvement in organising humanitarian and development aid in different regions of the world. Our strength lies in five decades of experience in the formation of young people and the leadership of youth groups.
Currently, we mainly focus on supporting Ukrainian children and teenagers. We strive for the Polish and Ukrainian youth to come together. Since February 2022, nearly 3,000 children have received our help.
Our projects
Education
“SzkoUA” (School for UA) – we run a Ukrainian school in Warsaw (Warszawska Szkoła Ukraińska) for 270 children and provide workshops for teachers.
Integration
We organise integration camps for children and teenagers from Ukraine and Poland. In summer we run semi-camps as well as hiking and canoeing camps and in winter we run sports camps in the mountains.
Leader training

Respite camps
