Head of Programmes Poland At Polish Humanitarian Action – Polska Akcja Humanitarna

Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH) is an international non-governmental humanitarian organization providing humanitarian and development help worldwide since 1992. So far, the interventions have been carried out in 46 different countries. By possessing long-standing expertise in the implementation of projects in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Food Security and Livelihoods, as well as Nutrition and Education, PAH concentrates its global activities on ensuring sustainable and stable development of regions suffering from the consequences of armed conflicts, natural disasters, and other humanitarian crises.

Mission Poland:

Nearly 100 people, a new organisational structure and just one goal: to help the individual fleeing to Poland from the nightmare of war in Ukraine. By 20 May 2022 the Polish border has been crossed by 3.5 million refugees, and though not all of them will stay with us, many of them will have nothing to go back to.

PAH is launching “Mission Poland” in order to effectively respond to the refugee crisis in our country.
