Humanitarian Aid and Development Cooperation of Caritas Czech Republic
We stand with people in times of crisis and recovery
Caritas Czech Republic provides support where lives are disrupted by war, poverty, natural disasters or the loss of essential resources. We deliver immediate humanitarian aid as well as long-term development support.
Since 2004, Caritas Czech Republic – the country’s oldest charitable organisation – has been developing its international aid programme. We operate through our own offices in eight countries, implement projects in many others, and, thanks to the global Caritas Internationalis network, engage in international cooperation worldwide.
Where we help
What we stand for
Sustainability
Support that continues even when the worst is over
Our work focuses on maximising the impact of our aid and making it sustainable in the long term. Wherever possible, as soon as immediate humanitarian assistance is provided, we help people get back on their feet and secure their livelihoods, enabling them to prosper in the long term.
Transparency
Trust begins with openness
Efficient use of financial resources and maximum transparency are essential for us. Therefore, besides the high quality and fairness of the assistance provided, we require absolute financial transparency from our staff.
Equality
Help for everyone,
without discrimination
We provide help to those in need, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, political affiliation or religion.
Cooperation
A partner trusted by people and institutions alike
We work with proven local partner organisations and with local authorities at national and local levels. We are highly valued partners of UN agencies such as UNHCR, UNICEF, UNDP and the European Commission, and we work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Czech Development Agency, embassies and many other respected institutions. We are part of a global network of Caritas, whose members cooperate regularly.
