In July, the decision on which open‑source and non‑profit projects receive support as part of #SidnetDonations is made by our talented Full Stack Developer—Łukasz Leszczyński. He began his journey by implementing help desk and service desk systems under our Centuran brand and has spent the past few years developing software for our long‑time partner, THG.
The organizations Łukasz selected may operate in different spheres, but they share a common mission: protecting those who cannot protect themselves. The Mozilla Foundation advocates for privacy and freedom on the internet—now with a strong focus on developing ethical and responsible artificial intelligence. At the same time, the Animal Shelter for Homeless Animals in Wroclaw offers safety, medical care, and a chance for a better life to abandoned and vulnerable animals.
The Mozilla Foundation
The Mozilla Foundation has long been dedicated to building an internet that is not only safe but also accessible to all. Its core principles—privacy, inclusivity, and the decentralization of the web—guide its mission. Today, Mozilla places particular emphasis on developing what it calls “trustworthy AI”: artificial intelligence designed to enhance human lives rather than harm them. Beyond proposing concrete frameworks for ethical AI, the foundation also plays an active role in public education—for example, through its IRL podcast, which delves into how technology shapes our daily lives and digital rights. In an era where the internet is increasingly dominated by corporate interests and algorithmic manipulation, Mozilla’s efforts represent a meaningful attempt to put people back at the heart of the digital world.
“I appreciate Mozilla for its consistent work toward an open and safe internet. It’s one of the few organizations that manage to combine technological advancement with privacy protection—as with the Firefox browser—and remain independent from commercial interests,” explains Łukasz.
Animal Shelter for Homeless Animals in Wroclaw
Few things touch the heart quite like the plight of homeless animals. The Wroclaw shelter is passionately dedicated to helping these “street pets” by providing urgent medical care, responding to emergency calls around the clock, and actively promoting adoptions within the local community. These vital efforts come with considerable costs, making every donation truly meaningful and impactful.
“The Animal Shelter for Homeless Animals in Wroclaw cares daily for hundreds of abandoned and vulnerable animals. Their dedication, professionalism, and determination deserve our support—both through donations and by raising awareness about responsible pet adoption and care,” says Łukasz.
Every bit of support counts—including yours. The shelter faces many urgent needs, but one easy and meaningful way to help is by virtually adopting a pet—a simple way to make a difference that’s available no matter where you live.
