PHILANTHROPY

An immense part of Marta's personality is in philanthropy. Since 2006, Marta has been involved with the removal of abandoned landmines in Cambodia. For six years she served as Board Member and Marketing Coordinator of Freedom Fields USA (FFUSA), an all-woman Carmel-based organization dedicated to the removal of landmines in war-torn countries through its partnership with HALO Trust, the world's leading humanitarian landmine clearance organization. From the beginning of her successful real estate career, Marta donated a percentage of income to landmine clearance. "Every time I sell a house I save lives." became Marta's motto. Marta's personal contributions and fundraising efforts have helped to remove over 2,000 landmines, potentially saving thousands of lives. Marta made several trips to Cambodia where she witnessed both the deadly devastation that the landmines create as well as the changed lives that have benefited from demining works; the safe cultivation of fertile land that will provide food and income for rural families for years to come. Besides landmine clearance projects, Marta's personal donations have built schools, safe housing, constructed a new bridge, and produced an educational life-saving film about landmine safety that reached tens of thousands of children, men and women at risk of injury and death. Her philanthropic work on behalf of removing the landmines has been nationally recognized and was the recipient of the prestigious humanitarian "National Good Neighbor Award" (see awards). 

Marta was involved in saving AIDS orphans in Northern Central Kenya (Africa), where she has personally visited the progress of education at the local school, assessed needs for the medical clinic, and the efficiency of the feeding program.

During the Hurricane Katrina relief effort, Marta was an onsite volunteer for the Red Cross assisting victims. Strongly believing in creating opportunity for young people, Marta is an advocate of the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.

From the beginning of the Russian-Ukraine conflict, Marta originated and lead humanitarian aid for 99 Ukrainian orphans relocated to Poland. She identified and independently engaged in immediate support in coordination with European based government and non-profit organizations. She conducted numerous humanitarian trips to visit the mission in Poland to deliver gifts, witness impact and evaluate educational and psychological needs to the most vulnerable victims of the conflict.
