Christian Projects
Our primary area of focus is supporting Christian projects. We believe that in the age which puts the body and the soul in the centre of attention, it is important to look after the spiritual aspect of life as well. Faith in Jesus Christ carries with it values that we perceive as essential for the positive direction of human beings and society. These are, above all, love, solidarity, forgiveness, understanding, and helping others. We support projects mainly in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as initiatives across denominations. We are primarily concerned with the quality and benefit of activities that have a deep meaningful impact and have the best possible potential to spread the Gospel.
Examples of Projects
Mezinárodní vězeňské společenství, z.s. (Prison Fellowship International)
Through its programmes, the Christian organisation Prison Fellowship International seeks to break the cycle of crime and applies the principles of restorative justice. The Prisoner's Journey Programme offers the offenders an opportunity to change the way they perceive themselves and others and find a spiritual path that will help them return to society after release. It offers an opportunity to experience healing and forgiveness through taking responsibility for their decisions.
The organisation is engaged in prevention of further criminal activity and reintegration of offenders into society through individual mentoring programmes in post-penitentiary care.

Project Hledámboha.cz (Searching for God)
The educative website Hledamboha.cz shows how important the spiritual aspect of life is for people. Christianity, based on a personal relationship between God and a human being, offers answers and solutions to a majority of the problems of today's world.

Charity and Philanthropic Projects
The support of charitable activities is based on the values on which the 3WFoundation stands. Its founders are aware that they have been blessed and that their wealth should also serve charity. The funds go primarily to organisations working in the social sector and helping people with difficult life stories to live well-rounded lives. We focus on helping families and people with disabilities, addicts and the homeless.
We help projects and organisations that contribute to solving systemic problems and provide quality services.
Examples of Projects
Šance podaná ruka, z.s. (The Luck of Being Given a Helping Hand)
Šance podaná ruka focuses on helping people who are homeless or marginalised and struggling with substance abuse. One of the programmes is Nový start (New Start), which offers follow-up services to people who have completed treatment for various types of addiction or have been released from prison. The main pillars are help in restoring work habits, dealing with debt and developing the spiritual aspect of clients' lives.

Polish Minority in the Těšín Silesia Region
The Wałach brothers and their families belong to the Poles living in the Czech part of the Těšín Silesia region. The Polish minority contributes to the diversity of the region through their language and culture. That is why we support the educative activities of its associations and organisations that organise diverse cultural, educational and social events. We are convinced that Polish culture has an essential place in the region as its integral part.
Examples of Projects
Kongres Poláků (Congress of Poles) and Fundusz Rozwoju Zaolzia (Zaolzie Development Fund)
The Congress of Poles is significantly contributing to the development of the Polish community throughout the Czech Republic. It creates a link between the Polish and Czech cultures and seeks to help the Polish minority at the legal and legislative level. The Zaolzie Development Fund is a fund that aims to develop the Polish community in the Zaolzie region. The Fund supports cultural, social and educational events, language education and strengthens ties with Poland.

Local Projects
The Wałach family is deeply rooted in the Těšín Silesia region and although the 3WFoundation supports projects with an international reach, the link to the region and local people is important to us. We help organisations and institutions that develop and enrich local cultural, sporting and community life. We also appreciate their attention to quality and innovative approach.
Examples of Projects
Nikdy nejsi sám (You Are Never Alone Association)
The association operates in the Třinec and Jablunkov regions and organises leisure activities and stays for children and youth with disabilities. One of the very beneficial activities is the meeting of families who care for their loved ones on a long-term basis. In addition, the association organises many awareness-raising events and cooperates with other organisations in the region.

ADAM WAŁACH
For us, Christianity means first and foremost faith in Jesus Christ. We know from our own experience that faith can change people's hearts and awaken in them a greater consideration and concern for others. We support Christian projects in Central and Eastern Europe because we believe that the key to a positive change in individuals and the whole society is the change in people’s hearts, with the generally appreciated values of love, solidarity, helping others, kindness, and charity stemming from it. These are exactly the values we desperately need in our fast and busy and impersonal time.
WALDEMAR WAŁACH
Wealth is a gift and a blessing. We see it as a means of finding and spreading good. In philanthropy, we draw from our business and investment experience. That is why we donate strategically to achieve the greatest impact. After careful consideration, we select specific projects and organisations and evaluate which projects have the potential to make a positive difference. We support selected projects not only financially. We help them grow and develop to be successful and sustainable.
MARIUSZ WAŁACH
Our family comes from the Těšín Silesia region. We are deeply rooted in the land where traditions, cultures and languages blend together. It is a unique region in many ways. It may not be an easy place to live but it is home to many talented, determined and kind-hearted people. That is why we support local organisations that develop a diverse cultural and community life, as well as the activities of Poles and the Polish national minority of which we are a part.
