Empowering Citizens and Municipalities

Empowering people We systematically work to empower citizens and local communities in the Czech Republic and in Poland by helping them to assert their rights and actively participate in public affairs. By providing support to active individuals and local initiatives we aim to strengthen civic society, which is the basis for the solution to the systemic corruption that is deeply embedded in our governance systems.

Protecting the right to a clean air and healthy environment

 Due to air pollution, twice as many children in the Ostrava and Karviná region suffer from asthma and allergic rhinitis than in the rest of the country. The problem of air pollution affects not only Ostrava, but also North Bohemia, Prague and Brno. Poor air quality and long-term exposure to high concentrations of benzo(a)pyrene and arsenic, smog and dust cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer, liver and kidney tumours, allergies and eczema. It is therefore in all of our interests that we address the current situation.
