The opportunity to ask for help will be available to everyone \u2014 both inside the country and abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Andrej Stryzhak also addressed those who have experience working in civic organizations, fundraising, website development, and financial management, and who are ready to become volunteers.

An internal review commission decided to fully terminate the initiative\u2019s cooperation with Stryzhak and remove him from leadership, representative, managerial, and founder roles in the BYSOL fund. The fund\u2019s directorate disagreed with the decision and introduced temporary cooperation with Stryzhak until March 2026. After that, the International Humanitarian Fund excluded the BYSOL initiative from its structure. Ultimately, Andrej Stryzhak left the BYSOL team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former participant and co-founder of BYSOL has announced the launch of a new aid initiative for Belarusians, BELAID.
