As a social and ecological non-governmental organisation, we work principally on the basis that ecological and social problems have shared causes and consequences which must be resolved. All our activities aim to show that social change based on respect for people, animals and nature is possible, and, most importantly, must be led from below. Therefore, we support people who are interested and engaged in what’s happening around them and who consider responsibility for life on our planet as an integral part of their own freedom. We work independently of party and economic interests, using strictly non-violent means.

After the presidential election and protests in Belarus in 2020, and the war unleashed by Russia against Ukraine in 2022, a huge number of people in Belarus and Lithuania were in need of humanitarian assistance. Thus, “Our House” has taken over the provision of this assistance. Paying fines and food to victims in Belarus, providing psychological support, finding jobs, and helping refugees in Lithuania with accommodation, food and clothing became the main activities of “Our House” today. Our House also continues to monitor human rights violations in cooperation with other organisations.
