Following the company’s development, we decided to share what we have and what we’ve achieved so far, which is why in 2014 ‘FORMIKA FOR CHILDREN’ FOUNDATION was created.

 

Its main aim is to offer support for children, teenagers and their families who suffer personal and economic hardship. However, we help wisely: we want to give them equal opportunities and prepare for adult life so that in the future they can cope on their own. The Foundation also supports such organisation units as: orphanages, single mother homes, social welfare homes, schools and kindergartens.

During the 7 years of the Foundation's activity:

Holiday trips for 738 children

More than 738 children benefited from summer, winter and school trips, summer camps and day camps financed in part or in whole by the Foundation. The Foundation finances the holidays of children and youth from families with low material status, foster families, orphanages, community day care centers, church organizations.

Co-financing of school lunches for 638 children from schools in Bieszczady

A total of 638 children from schools in Bieszczady received funding from us for school lunches.
