“A Country to Live in” fund was founded by Sergey Tikhanovskiy and Svetlana Tikhanovskaya to support Belarus' activist and volunteer movement.
The volunteer movement became the backbone of the 2020 election campaign. Thousands of people in Belarus are giving their time and effort to achieve one common goal: life in a country free from cruelty, lawlessness, and corruption.
The volunteer movement provides assistance and support to the ideas of a peaceful change in government, the establishment of the law's justice, the release of all people imprisoned for their views, and the facilitation of fair elections.
Volunteers associated with candidates’ campaigns during this past 2020 election are persecuted for their active positions, pressured by the illegitimate authorities, and often left without a livelihood. These volunteers are our heroes.
The Foundation assists them in several areas:
- Support the arrested, the political prisoners, the detained volunteers, and activists
- Assistance to the volunteers and activists in obtaining foreign visas
- Financial assistance to the volunteers and activists, including their families and children
- Assistance to the volunteers and activists who wish to study abroad
The Foundation plans to expand its activities and presents new projects-initiatives:
- Real Economy Project. The current state of affairs in the Belarusian economy
- Legal project "Let's back to the legal track." The state must comply with its laws
- Self-government project "We are the power here." How real, local self-government can and should work
In our work, we focus on openness, transparency, and strict reporting. Every person is important to us, and our help must reach everyone.
