Paulina Kuczma, Marek Łagodziński Goji. Land Fundacja „Sławek” Slawek Founation

Who we are? The Slawek Foundation is a family based organization. Since 1998 we help homeless, addicts, disabled, and leaving prisoners and their families. Our priority is to work on social inclusion and the maintenance of family ties of excluded people. More about us at www. fundacjaslawek. org

What are we doing? Social economy is a sphere of civic activity which, through economic activity and public benefit, serves: social and professional integration of people at risk of social exclusion, job creation, social services for the general interest and local development. As the name implies, it combines social and economic goals. It is also referred to as social entrepreneurship.

Goji. Land What we want to achieve? To launch the first plantation of the world's healthiest fruit, the goji berries (lycium barbarum) in Poland, under the Social Economy Enterprise. Thanks to this, for the first time, Poles will have the opportunity to buy vitamin-rich fresh Goji berries, our employees will receive full-year employment and the profit generated will support the exclusion programs.

Product Our product is fresh Goji berries. At the end of 2 ha fields we want to plant about 7 thousand trees of lycium barbarum varieties 'New Big' and 'Amber Sweet Goji', obtained thanks to cooperation with "Clematis - a source of good climbers" which guarantees the highest quality of fresh fruit. Plant productivity will grow in subsequent years up to about 3 kg per plant, or about 20 tons of total crop production. This year we have produced the first trial batch of 20 product packages.
