Caritas Czech Republic is releasing extraordinary financial resources to support Ukraine

Caritas Czech Republic is releasing extraordinary financial resources to support Ukraine

Russian attacks on Ukraine continue to damage the energy grid and civilian infrastructure. Many people, especially in Kyiv and the surrounding areas, are left in the middle of winter without electricity, warmth, or water. Temperatures are dropping well below zero, and the repairs to the energy grid are progressing very slowly. According to recent prognoses, extremely cold weather will last for the next few weeks. In such a situation, every form of support is crucial. The Czechs have repeatedly shown that they can act fast, with understanding and compassion. Thanks to solidarity, it is possible to help in places where people are fighting for the most basic conditions for life.

Majed from Syria used to buy expensive water every three days. Today, thanks to Caritas, he has his own supply

Until recently, Majed from Syria had to buy expensive water for his entire family every three days. Today, thanks to Caritas Czech Republic, he has his own source of clean water, sufficient both for household needs and for irrigating crops. In collaboration with the organisation Takaful Al-Sham, we put into operation the local pumping station and restored the water supply network. As a result, Majed no longer has to pay for water and can save money instead.

Almaz used to worry about her children’s health due to contaminated water. Today, she takes care of her community

  Until recently, Almaz watched her children drink water with an anxious heart. The water was contaminated, posing an excruciating risk of stomach illnesses. Almaz and her family live in southern Ethiopia, where no other source of water was available. Last year, with support from Caritas Czech Republic, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, and Caritas Ethiopia (ECC-SDCO/S), access to local water was restored. Thanks to this, Almaz no longer needs to worry about her children’s safety. Moreover, she saves several hours each week because she no longer has to fetch water from elsewhere. As a result, she has been able to grow her own vegetables and support the family budget. She has also taken responsibility for managing the water spring and has become the voice of her community.

Oleksandra found a job as an accountant in Lviv. Thanks to Caritas, she improved her skills and now contributes to the growth of a well-known local shop.

In the weeks before Christmas, Caritas Czech Republic visited Lviv. We also stopped by a shop called „Something Interesting“, which sells blown glass products typical of the town. Oleksandra works as the shop’s accountant. She moved to Lviv from Zaporizhzhia before the war began. She did not plan to settle down, but the conflict has extended her stay indefinitely. Thanks to support from Caritas Czech Republic, she attended two courses that helped her strengthen the company’s growth.

Thanks to Caritas, Nesreen remembered her own courage. Today, she is helping others in Gaza

At forty-two, Nesreen has not had an easy life, not even before the conflict in Gaza began. Two of her four children are living with a serious health condition, and Nesreen dedicated all her time to caring for them. When the war started, the family lost their home and had to overcome other unfortunate twists of fate. The situation finally improved when Nesreen visited the clinic of Caritas Jerusalem, supported by Caritas Czech Republic. Here, she found much-needed words of comfort and understanding. Today, she copes better with the daily challenges of life in Gaza.
