ILW Partners. Addressing Critical Needs.

The Institute Lech Wałęsa is frequently invited to help address critical global problems. As a leading Foundation with extensive experience and numerous high-level relationships worldwide, we have the ability to assist other nonprofit organizations in accomplishing their goals. This is our reason to create ILW Partners: to help address life and death issues in the world today, with nonprofit partners who have a mission we can assist with.
