Vela - Humanitarian Organization for Protection and Education

Foundation VELA was established in 2022, initially to support refugees of the Russian war on Ukraine in Poland. We encourage individuals to dream big, to raise their aspirations, and reach for their potential. We understand that the path to a better future isn’t always clear, hence, we offer guidance and support, helping individuals to navigate their journey towards their dreams. But it doesn’t stop there – we aim to equip people with the tools and knowledge they need to create sustainable change in their own lives. Our mission is to illuminate pathways towards resilience and self-reliance for those in need. Like the stars in the constellations, we guide individuals through their immediate challenges, empowering them with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration to navigate their own journey. Our vision is to create a world where everyone has the opportunity to navigate their own journey of discovery, to explore their potential, and realize their dreams. We believe in sparking the transformative power of hope, exploration, and personal growth across communities. We imagine a world where everyone, no matter their starting point, has the ability to reach for their stars and chart their own course to a brighter future.
