Nowy Styl Sustainability Report 2018-2019

Founded by Adam and Jerzy Krzanowski, the Jasło-based Janusz Korczak Foundation has been supporting the de- velopment of talented children and young people from Podkarpacie since 2001. We fund scholarships for second- ary school and university students, which benefit several dozen people every year. In the last two years, their num- bers ranged from 45 to 50 people.

The long-term and comprehensive support it provides is based on education, sport and therapy. One of the asso- ciation’s flagship projects is a Modern Children's Home at Odporyszów near Tarnów. The facility was established since finished their studies, and some of them have found employment with our company. Positions they occupy in- clude engineering jobs, and their daily work involves de- veloping new technologies and solutions contributing to the development of an ergonomic working environment for thousands of people using Nowy Styl chairs and furniture. Thanks to our scholarships, students get a chance for a better life, and they can develop their talents and inter- ests. We hope that the aid received motivates them to study, and later becomes a reason to spread the ‘chain of good’. and is being developed thanks to sponsors. Nowy Styl is one of them, taking part in the construction of a football pitch for both the pupils and local residents. The compa- ny has also donated furniture for the facility, and helped organise a trip to Lviv for the children in 2018 and furnish a Culinary Academy.
