BYSOL fundraising
The campaign “Let’s Get the Children of Political Prisoners Ready for Kindergarten and School!” is now underway! For any Belarusian family, preparing children for school or kindergarten is a financial challenge. But for families of political prisoners, it becomes even more difficult. Every contribution you make will help ease the burden and bring a bit more joy into the lives of children whose families include political prisoners.
Until August 2020, we, like all Belarusians, were engaged in our own projects, but we couldn't stay away when the country was gripped by a wave of violence and lawlessness. Now we help those who suffered at the hands of the regime.
BYSOL supports released political prisoners and their families, people forced to leave the country, Belarusian volunteers in Ukraine, and initiatives that help Belarusians fight lawlessness in the country.
