In reponse to the request of  Caritas from Kalisz, for support in collection of building meterials, Echo Investment has handed over a few hundred square meters of window woodwork and doors.

Woodwork elements of full value come from demolished building of the former PKS bus station in Kalisz, in stead of which Amber Gallery shopping-entertainment center shall be erected. Thus obtained materials shall be used to build the House of Life - Women’s Shelter.

Priest Ryszard Krakowski, vice-director of Caritas od Kalisz Diocese wrote with thanks: „Deciding to hand over windows and doors for the needs of the House of Life – shelter for the homeless women, you help the most needy. Without generosity of many people of good will, we wouldn’t be able to undertake adaptation of the Shelter’s rooms.”

Renovated and extended House of Life is a center offering shelter to women wronged by fate, and also help in preparing to independent life through spiritual, psychological and legal support.
