Caritas for Ukraine 2/2025

The war in Ukraine has dramatically affected the lives of its inhabitants. More than 15 million people have been forced to flee their homes. Caritas Czech Republic has been helping those affected since the first day of the conflict, providing essential necessities, dignified accommodation, and psychological support both in the Czech Republic and in Ukraine. We support displaced people in Ukraine in getting back on their feet and living as normal a life as possible - adults and children alike.

5 ways Caritas Czech Republic helps protect the environment and respond to climate change

Drought, polluted water, failed crops. For many of the communities that we support, the effects of climate change are part of everyday life. That is why our humanitarian and development work increasingly focuses on protecting the environment and building climate resilience. We provide training for farmers, improve access to water, support innovative solutions, and deliver aid that does not burden nature. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Water is life. Yet billions lack access to it

Water is the foundation of life. We need it to survive, stay healthy, grow food, and support economies. Yet, billions face water scarcity due to climate change, population growth, and poor resource management. In many regions, prolonged droughts and desertification are forcing people to leave their homes in search of water. Caritas Czech Republic is working to provide sustainable solutions, helping communities secure reliable access to this vital resource.

Motherhood in war. Thanks to Caritas Czech Republic, Lilya's family welcomes their child in a warm and bright home in the Kherson region

During the full-scale invasion, resilience became a symbol of Ukrainians. In particular, women who dare to give birth during the war in Ukraine. One of them is Lilya. Her eldest son is the same age as the Russian aggression against Ukrainians, and her second pregnancy passed in occupation. The couple fled their home to save the children and now live in an old village house near the front. Despite her trials, Lilya is currently pregnant. With the support of Caritas Czech Republic, the family prepared a new home for the baby's arrival.

16-year-old Ivan from Mariupol lost his parents in the war. Today, he is rebuilding his life with our support

We heard powerful explosions. We were told to pack our bags and leave,” recalls 16-year-old Ivan. He is one of 36 children evacuated by a Ukrainian couple in February 2022 from Mariupol and nearby villages before the Russians besieged the city and began to destroy it. The war has left Ivan a complete orphan. His home was damaged, and the city has been occupied for three years. Ivan got back on his feet thanks to the support of his guardians and friends in a settlement built by Caritas Czech Republic in Transcarpathia.
