Launch of Globalworth Foundation in Poland
Globalworth Foundation launch in Poland
In April 2020 the Globalworth Foundation begun its activity in Poland to help fund medical supplies and meals for the three hospitals - in Warsaw, Łódź and Chorzów.
Within a few weeks, our philanthropic response to the COVID -19 pandemic was nimble: we acted as quickly as possible during this emergency and try to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on our communities in Poland and Romania, as well as on the society we live in for which we allocated more than 650,000 euro.Protecting healthcare workers remains a top priority for Globalworth Foundation. These are the heroes on the frontline who continue to tirelessly provide care and support to children and families affected. So far in both countries, we allocated over 650,000 euros to help fund medical supplies as well as logistical, human and material support. We all want to get back to something close to normal and such actions certainly help in this.
In Poland we prepared a list of hospitals and after thorough analysis we chose two facilities that were counting on help. In April we announced the launch of the Globalworth Foundation in Poland and as the first step, we allocated 200,000 EUR to help fund medical supplies for two hospitals - Wojewódzki Specjalistyczny Szpital im. dr. Wł. Biegańskiego in Lodz and Szpital Specjalistyczny in Chorzow. The funds enabled acquiring 21 beds, 15,800 surgical masks, 2,600 protective overalls and 6,974 protective masks (FFP2 and FFP3).
We also decided, to partner with other donors to get involved faster and help more hospitals. Globalworth Foundation together with tenants of Hala Koszyki started financing and delivering 2,600 meals for healthcare workers in Szpital Wolski in Warsaw for one month.
