Many people in Lanckorona, a small village not far from Krakow, southern Poland lost everything during the floods: houses, family heirlooms, often hope. We can help them!
Their tragedy was unique during the weeks of floods in Poland as their small, wooden built houses suffered subsidence, and many locals watched their homes, literally, slipping down a mountain.
Over 70 homes were destroyed and hundreds were left without a roof over their heads.

When natural disasters are over, journalists pack up and leave. But the tragedy, and human need, remains long after the media spotlight moves on. Now is the time when the people of Lanckorona need your help the most.
Join thenews.pl in its unique campaign to provide assistance for the people of Lanckorona. The Municipal authorities have set up a special account (number below), which you can deposit money directly if you wish to help.
To get to know more about Lanckorona and its residents, keep listening to Polish Radio’s English language broadcasts. In March this year, before disaster struck, our reporter John Beauchamp visited the town as part of his series: Galician Almanac.
Polish Radio will be returning to Lanckorona to see how people are putting their lives back together and how the village is using the aid you donate.
