Helena Kmieć was a Polish Catholic missionary born in Kraków in 1991. After studying chemical engineering, she dedicated her life to service through various missionary activities, including volunteer work in Hungary, Romania, and Zambia. In early 2017, she traveled to Bolivia to assist an orphanage in Cochabamba. Tragically, she was killed during an assault at the facility in January 2017. She was posthumously honored by the Polish government for her commitment to helping those in need and is currently recognized by the Catholic Church as a Servant of God.
