Fundacja Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę

What Fundacja Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę does

Fundacja Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę (FDDS), founded in 1991 in Warsaw and renamed in 2016 from its original name Fundacja Dzieci Niczyje, is a Polish non-governmental, non-profit foundation that comprehensively addresses child violence and sexual exploitation. It is the largest organization in Poland operating in this domain and coordinates a national network of 13 Child Assistance Centers (Centra Pomocy Dzieciom) under the international Barnahus model, three of which it directly operates in Warsaw, Gdańsk, and Starogard Gdański. These centers deliver free, interdisciplinary psychological, legal, and medical (psychiatric and pediatric) care to child crime victims under one roof, coordinated by a single team of specialists. The foundation also operates Poland's only 24/7 nationwide toll-free helpline for children (116 111) and a complementary helpline for adults (800 100 100), with approximately 500 police/emergency interventions annually.

The foundation's technology stack centers on multiple specialized digital platforms: the Safer Internet Center Poland (saferinternet.pl), the Poradnia Dziecko w Sieci online counseling clinic, the Standardy Ochrony Dzieci platform (standardy.fdds.pl), and the recently launched ReDirection program (September 2025), an anonymous CBT-based online self-help tool licensed from Finland's Protect Children for persons seeking to stop using CSAM materials. Educational platforms include necio.pl (ages 4-6), sieciaki.pl (ages 7-10), the RÓWIEŚNICY school-based cyberbullying diagnosis tool, and edukacja.fdds.pl for professional training. The research division publishes the Diagnoza przemocy wobec dzieci w Polsce study, the RÓWIEŚNICY reports, and the quarterly scientific journal Dziecko Krzywdzone.

Revenue mechanics are non-commercial and multi-stream: individual donations (one-time, recurring, and 1.5% income tax allocation under KRS 0000204426), corporate partnerships (PEPCO, UNIQA, IKEA, Samsung, Lidl, Disney, Circle K, and 30+ other brands via payroll giving, round-up programs, and the Przyjaciel FDDS membership at 5,000-20,000 PLN annually), and government/EU institutional grants including the National Health Program, Justice Fund, NIW-CRSO, provincial governors, municipal governments, European Commission CERV and Erasmus+ programs, and private foundations such as Fundacja Drzewo i Jutro (2025-2028 partnership). All services to beneficiaries are free of charge. GTM motion combines community-led mobilization (nationwide campaigns, petitions, social media, podcasts), event-driven engagement (annual Ostrożnie – dziecko! conference, webinars, training), and direct-to-consumer service delivery via helplines and online counseling. The foundation is an active member of PROMISE (European Barnahus Network), WeProtect Global Alliance, Child Helpline International, ECPAT International, and co-founder of the Krajowa Koalicja na rzecz Ochrony Dzieci (20 member organizations).

Direct peers

• Childhelp (USA): US national nonprofit dedicated to child abuse prevention, intervention, and treatment. Direct structural peer: runs national helplines, treatment centers, advocacy campaigns, and professional training — same operational blueprint as FDDS in a different geography.
• Fundacja Dzieło Nowego Tysiąclecia: Polish foundation supporting children and youth through scholarship and educational programs. Comparable as a faith-aligned national child-welfare foundation with corporate fundraising and public awareness activities.
• SOS Children's Villages Poland: Polish branch of SOS Children's Villages International providing alternative family-based care for children. Comparable as a major Polish child-welfare NGO with direct residential/care services, fundraising infrastructure, and corporate partnerships.
• Fundacja Polsat: Large Polish corporate-affiliated foundation focused on children's welfare, particularly pediatric healthcare. Comparable as a high-visibility Polish NGO with corporate funding, mass-media campaigns, and direct service delivery to children.
• NSPCC (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children): The UK's leading child protection charity with a near-identical mandate to FDDS: direct victim services, helplines, public campaigns, professional training, and policy advocacy. Both operate as national umbrella NGOs with helplines and research arms, making NSPCC the closest international structural peer.
• UNICEF Poland: Polish national committee of UNICEF focused on child rights, education, and protection. Directly comparable as a Polish fundraising/advocacy entity serving the same donor pool and addressing overlapping child-protection themes.

Emerging players

• Fundacja Centrum Praw Kobiet: Polish NGO supporting women and children affected by violence, including domestic violence. Adjacent thematic peer addressing overlapping GBV/victim-support needs with similar helpline-style service delivery, though narrower than FDDS's scope.
• Darkness to Light: US nonprofit focused specifically on preventing child sexual abuse through education and training. Comparable as a prevention/training-heavy organization addressing the same child-safety themes, though operating at smaller scale and without FDDS's direct service infrastructure.

Broad incumbents

• Caritas Polska: Largest Catholic charitable organization in Poland with broad social welfare programs including services for children and families. Overlaps with FDDS on child/family support but operates as a much larger generalist rather than a child-protection specialist.

Others

• Protect Children (Finland): Finnish NGO focused on preventing child sexual abuse online, developer and rights-holder of the ReDirection program that FDDS licenses. Not a direct competitor but a critical program partner whose strategic decisions directly affect FDDS's flagship prevention offering.
