THE LINE BETWEEN
GOOD AND EVIL
IS CLEAR
Disgraceful things are happening on the Polish-Belarusian border. The Ocalenie Foundation has been working on the site since the beginning of the crisis, because we believe that a safe border is a border where no one dies. We keep monitoring the situation, providing humanitarian and legal aid to refugees, informing the public about the situation and advocating for an end to this humanitarian crisis. We have opened a temporary office of our Foundation on the spot. We employ all the knowledge and experience the Foundation has gained during 25 years of operation. Please support our activities.

Make a donation
We need you to continue providing assistance on the Polish-Belarusian border. Make a one-off donation or set up a recurring transfer so that we can operate effectively and in the long term.

You can also organise a fundraiser, combined with publicising and explaining the situation at the border, at your workplace, association, parish, among your friends or in another group. To create an online fundraiser, you can use, for example, the Zrzutka.pl website. If you have an idea and need support in implementing it, please write to us at [email protected].

Organize a collection of goods
If you would like to organise a collection of goods, please contact us at
[email protected]. In your message, please describe where you would like to organise the collection and on what scale. We will discuss with you what is currently needed and how and where to deliver the donations. Thank you very much!
Spread the word and show your opposition
Take part in demonstrations and events in your town, or organise them yourself. Talk to your friends and family, explain the situation to them and refute fake news. Use live meetings and social media. If you have the opportunity to get the media and international organisations interested in the situation, do so.
Lobby
Put pressure on your local MPs, the Prime Minister, the President, the Minister of the Interior and Administration, and the Border Guard. Comment on their social media posts, write emails and letters. Keep the pressure on them. It is really important.
If you represent a community, institution, workplace or local government, you can prepare an open statement expressing your opposition and calling for humanitarian aid to be allowed.

Help locally
Do you live near the border?
There are many ways you can help!
Remember that sharing food, water, dry clothes, providing first aid to those in need or lending a telephone to call family members is legal. It is also legal to provide information on how to apply for international protection in Poland and what the legal consequences are. However, it is illegal to smuggle people and assist in this practice. This may include giving foreigners a lift or providing them with a telephone to contact the person organising the transport. If you have more questions on this subject or need support in providing assistance, please contact us!
Do you live in Warsaw? Through Fundacja Ocalenie, you can help refugees who are already in Poland. Detailed information can be found here.
Do you live in another part of Poland? Contact organisations or initiatives helping refugees in your region and ask how you can support them!
