Description
The Wkra of Possibilities Foundation operates in the Joniec Municipality, the Płońsk County in the Mazovian Province. Our aim is to equalise educational and social opportunities for children, young people and adults at risk of exclusion. We are extending our activities to neighbouring municipalities. As part of the project, we will set up two mothers'' clubs in the Płońsk County. Mothers staying at home due to motherhood will be able to meet and support each other there, as well as take care of themselves and their needs, e.g. by using a spa.
