It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Ewa Unger - a person with great achievements in building friendly Polish-German relations, long-term president of the Wroclaw Club of Catholic Intelligentsia.

For the first time in 30 years our centre will be empty! We need your help to continue our mission!

Ladies and gentlemen, Dear Friends,

The Krzyżowa Foundation has been carrying out its educational activities for 30 years. As a non-profit organization we do not earn money, but only thanks to grants and co-funding we can provide the center and pay salaries to our employees. However, when we do not carry out projects, we do not conduct youth exchanges, we have no sources of income.

The coronavirus epidemic in Poland and worldwide affects our lives individually, but also the functioning of many institutions and organizations. Health and safety of people is a priority for everyone. For this reason, the activities of organisations such as ours have been suspended.

The Krzyżowa Foundation has now found itself in a very difficult situation - not being able to carry out its mission and statutory tasks for some time there are no sources of income. We already know that in the most intense months of work - March, April, May, June - our centre will be empty.
