OUR FOUNDATION

The Bronislada Kruchowski de Szychowski Foundation was established on June 8, 1989, as a public welfare organization. It was named in honor of Mrs. Bronislada “Broña” Kruchowski de Szychowski, the wife and partner of Juan Szychowski, founder of La Cachuera S.A.

Broña was a Polish immigrant who arrived in Misiones at the age of eight with her parents and siblings. She settled in the region and, together with her husband, built a life of hard work and dedication while raising their eight children.

The Foundation was created with the primary goal of supporting the community of Misiones, rural workers and anyone seeking opportunities for personal and professional development. Its work focuses on health, sports, education and culture, including scholarships for primary, secondary, tertiary and university education.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY

In 1991, with funds donated by La Cachuera S.A., construction was completed on Special Education School No. 5 “República de Polonia” in the city of Apóstoles. The school was specially designed to accommodate up to 100 children with disabilities.

The Foundation also supported the construction of the foundations and first classrooms of Provincial Technical Education School No. 5 in Apóstoles. Its computer classroom was named “Juan Szychowski.”

In 1992, we established La Negrita Primary School near Gobernador Virasoro, in Corrientes Province. The school serves approximately 45 children and also has a kindergarten.

The Foundation also provides support to churches and parishes, indigenous communities in the province and Cáritas organizations through donations and contributions.
