What Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci does

Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci (TPD) is a Polish public benefit organization (Organizacja Pożytku Publicznego, KRS 0000114345) founded in 1919, dedicated to child welfare, family support, and disability services. It operates 55 facilities nationwide — including kindergartens, schools, the Centrum Rehabilitacji, Edukacji i Opieki 'Helenów' in Warsaw, adoption centers, occupational therapy workshops (WTZ), community self-help homes (ŚDS), care and education centers, and holiday/rehabilitation facilities (notably in Jastrzębia Góra and Serock). Core services include direct care for orphans and impoverished children, rehabilitation and special education for children with disabilities, family support, adoption services, child rights advocacy, and a national helpline (800 119 119). Programs such as 'Z podwórka do Parlamentu' (civic engagement), Pedagog Rodzinny (family support), Pedagog Uliczny (street outreach), Cyfrolatki (digital literacy), and the 2024 #wiemcorobić campaign against online child exploitation expand its scope into civic education and digital safety. TPD publishes the 'Przyjaciel Dziecka' magazine for the disability community and operates a Spółdzielnia Socjalna (social cooperative) for vocational training of people with disabilities.

The organization's revenue model rests on four pillars: (1) the Polish 1.5% income tax designation mechanism directed to its KRS number; (2) corporate partnerships, with Pepco as flagship sponsor alongside PFRON, Kulczyk Foundation, IKEA, Orange Foundation, BGZ BNP Paribas, and Bank BPS; (3) government grants and subsidies for operating rehabilitation centers, WTZ, ŚDS, adoption agencies, and educational institutions; and (4) direct donations from individuals and organizations (including emergency campaigns such as flood relief). All services to children and families are provided free of charge. Distribution is executed through a decentralized network of regional branches (Oddziały Okręgowe), local circles (Koła Przyjaciół Dzieci), directly operated facilities, the 800 119 119 helpline, and online platforms including the campaign site wiemcorobic.pl. The organization reports 111 employees and is headquartered in Warsaw.
