The war in Ukraine continues, bringing devastating consequences for civilians. Millions have lost their homes, and thousands of schools, hospitals, and houses have been damaged or destroyed. Many Ukrainians have become internally displaced and now live in temporary and inadequate conditions without basic necessities. They lack safe housing, access to clean water, heating, and medical care. Caritas Czech Republic has been providing long-term support directly on the ground — repairing damaged homes and restoring healthcare facilities, building modular shelters, securing access to drinking water, and helping to establish mental health centres.

Why donate now

  • More than 12 million people urgently need help
    – that’s every third person in Ukraine
  • Air raid sirens go off up to twice a day
    – the average alert lasts 2 hours, but some last up to 10
  • Nearly 4 million people are displaced within Ukraine
    – living in temporary shelters, searching for a way to reclaim dignity
  • Civilian sites are under attack
    – including schools, hospitals, aid centres, and homes
  • The healthcare system is overwhelmed
    – Hospitals and rehabilitation centres need repairs and expansion
  • Living in fear affects mental health
    – people need support and a sense of stability

Evžen Diviš
Attacks on both military and civilian targets have intensified in recent months. Residential buildings are being destroyed, the number of dead and injured is rising, and new waves of evacuation are underway. Damaged structures must be repaired or replaced, and the wounded place an even greater burden on an already overstretched healthcare system. The psychosocial strain on Ukrainian society is growing, and it will likely take decades to fully recover from the consequences. Our work continues, the needs are increasing, and we see it as our duty to persevere in providing help.

Financial aid for Ukraine is what we value most at the moment, says Klára Boumová

Klára Boumová works at Caritas Czech Republic as a manager for advocacy in the field of migration. In addition to direct assistance to the needy, Caritas also comments on laws in the social and health field or initiates negotiations on the need for systemic changes at national and European level. However, the normal working day was disrupted by the war in Ukraine, to which it was necessary to react quickly and to coordinate the assistance provided in appropriate way. We talked to Klára Boumová about the assistance Caritas provides to people fleeing the war in Ukraine to the Czech Republic.

Caritas will train Ukrainians in crisis psychological assistance

Caritas Czech Republic is organizing a training in crisis psychological support for Caritas Ukraine staff on Monday, 28th February. Psychologists from the Czech Fire Rescue Corps will train our Ukrainian colleagues on how to provide psychological care to people affected by the ongoing war. A similar training took place in 2015. Due to the Russian invasion, our colleagues in Ukraine had to interrupt their social and health care programmes in many parts of the country. However, they are determined to provide the necessary psychosocial assistance for those affected by the difficult situation  the last days.

Tens of thousands of people fleeing Ukraine. Caritas is helping them in the Czech Republic

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian army has driven hundreds of thousands of people from their homes. Tens of thousands of them are crossing the border to the west. Women and children in particular are fleeing the country. Even before Russia's invasion, there were already 1.5 million internally displaced people in Ukraine, with 3 million people in need of humanitarian aid. The current humanitarian and security situation in the country is absolutely critical and is deteriorating rapidly. The people of Ukraine, as well as those leaving the country, are in urgent need of help with the basic necessities of life. Caritas is helping them secure basic needs.

Director of Caritas Mariupol: Until last moment we believed Putin would not attack

The situation in Ukraine is very dramatic. Until a few days ago, few people believed that Russia would decide to launch an all-out invasion of Ukraine. Now the country is under intense attack by the Russian army. There is fighting and bombing in many places, and people are fleeing their homes. The situation is most intense in eastern Ukraine. On Thursday afternoon, we spoke with the director of Caritas Mariupol, Rostislav Sprynyuk, about the situation.
