Winners Foundation

What Winners Foundation does

Winners Foundation (legal name: Fundacja Zwycięzcy) is a private nonprofit foundation registered in Poland (KRS 0000552800, based in Nadarzyn) with a sister organization, Winners Foundation Kenya, that jointly operates a children's home in Webuye, Kenya. The foundation was established after its founders visited Kenya in 2019, purchased land in Webuye in 2020, and completed construction of the children's home in April 2024. As of the most recent data, 13 children (7 girls, 4 boys) reside in the home, with 7 additional children from neighboring villages sponsored for education, totaling 20 individuals supported. The organization also launched the "I Believe I'm a Businessman" youth entrepreneurship program in 2025, extending operations into Uganda alongside Kenya.

The foundation's three core programs are: (1) Dom Dziecka w Webuye — a residential children's home providing shelter, nutrition, healthcare, clothing, and education, with on-site agricultural self-sufficiency via vegetable gardens, fruit orchards, and maize/bean cultivation; (2) an Education Support Program (PWEBD) that pays school fees, uniforms, books, and supplies for children from poor families in the Webuye area; and (3) "I Believe I'm a Businessman," a mentorship and capital-access program for 18-25 year-old entrepreneurs in Kenya and Uganda. Planned expansion includes construction of a separate boys' home on the existing Webuye property.

The foundation has no proprietary technology, no commercial products, and no disclosed revenue. All operating funds come from voluntary donations — Polish individual donors contributing via bank transfers (Erste Bank Polska, Santander Bank Polska), the zrzutka.pl crowdfunding platform, and social media-driven fundraising campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. The organization claims 100% of donated funds are directed to Kenya projects. Local operations in Webuye are managed by a Kenyan caretaker, Kennedy, and his family, with the Polish foundation providing oversight, fundraising, and reporting. The leadership team consists of Michał Korgol (President of the Board) and Julita Korgol (Founder/Vice President).

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• Watoto Watu Foundation: Smaller, emerging charity supporting Kenyan orphans and vulnerable children through education sponsorship and community programs - a near-identical niche to Winners Foundation.

Direct peers

• Compassion International: Child sponsorship organization with major Kenya operations that funds education, healthcare, and welfare for at-risk children. Comparable business model (sponsor funds flow directly to sponsored children) and target geography (Kenya, East Africa).
• ChildFund International: INGO sponsoring individual children in developing countries including Kenya, combining residential care with sponsorship funding. Mirror image of Winners Foundation's 1:1 donor-to-child sponsorship model used for the 7 community children.
• Asante Africa Foundation: Education-focused nonprofit working in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania to keep girls and boys in school. Closely comparable to Winners Foundation's Education Support Program (PWEBD) covering school fees and supplies for local children.
• SOS Children's Villages International: Largest global operator of family-style children's homes for orphans and abandoned children. Directly comparable to Winners Foundation's residential care model in Webuye, Kenya, but at multinational scale across 130+ countries.
• African Child Aid: Smaller NGO supporting orphaned and vulnerable children in East Africa through sponsorship, education, and shelter - directly comparable niche to Winners Foundation's Webuye operations.

Broad incumbents

• Plan International: Large NGO focused on children's rights and gender equality operating in Kenya and Uganda. Overlaps with Winners Foundation's child welfare and youth entrepreneurship work but operates at far greater scale and geographic breadth.
• Caritas Poland: Largest Catholic charity in Poland running international aid programs including in Kenya. Comparable as a Polish-registered foundation channeling donor money to overseas child welfare projects, but at vastly greater scale.
• Fundacja Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy: Poland's largest domestic charitable foundation, similarly registered as a Polish fundacja and reliant on mass donor engagement. Useful comparable for the Polish foundation structure and fundraising mechanics.

Regional players

• Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH): Major Polish NGO running international development and humanitarian programs, including in East Africa. Same Polish-registered donor ecosystem and similar fundraising channels (crowdfunding, individual donations) as Winners Foundation.
