Abstract
The role of non-governmental organizations in child care in Middle Pomerania
in the years 1945-1975 – an outline of the problem
Summary
The activity of NGOs in Middle Pomerania after the end of WWII to the times of political
changes and economic transition can be divided into two characteristic and distinct stages, i.e. one
until the year 1950, and the other covering the years from 1950 to the political breakthrough of
1989.
In the first stage, the activities directed at well-being of the child and the family were mostly
undertaken by the Worker’s Society of the Friends of Children (Polish: RTPD), the Peasants’ Society
of the Friends of Children (ChTPD), Polish Red Cross (PCK), Central Committee for Welfare
(CKOS), the Polish Women League and the Society for Pupils’ Hostels and Scholarships.
The above organizations kept sanitary and medical facilities, educational and care institutions,
including children’s homes, correctional houses, preventoria, day care rooms, pupils’ hostels
and boarding houses, crèches and kindergartens, ran summer camps for children, field kitchens,
hospitals, night shelters, training workshops, catering establishments, outpatient clinics, ambulance
services, health care establishments and mother and child care units.
According to the data available at the archives of the Society of the Friends of Children in
Koszalin covering the years 1946–1949, included in annual reports of RTPD and ChTPD, these
organizations provided care to about 8,300 children.
CKOS attended to about 43,500 individuals, including children. The organization distributed
clothing, footwear and medicine obtained within the framework of the structural assistance from
the UN.
According to data obtained from annual reports of the Polish Red Cross in Koszalin for the
years 1945–1955, assistance was rendered to about 120,000 individuals.
