How we help

We help where we are needed. We provide immediate humanitarian aid to people affected by war or natural disasters. In development cooperation, we help people get on their feet and earn a living. We focus on health and social care development, environmental protection and work on systemic change.

Humanitarian aid

Humanitarian aid is crucial during natural disasters and war conflicts. In crises, we focus primarily on providing basic needs such as food, water and shelter

Development cooperation

Development cooperation aims to help people get back on their feet and get a source of livelihood. We are also working on systemic changes in healthcare, social services and environmental protection.

Caritas Czech Republic has supported them for many years. We operate in six regions, including areas in close proximity to the frontline in eastern Ukraine. In this article, we provide an overview of our major activities in the country over the past year. Our work on site continues.

Goat farming has improved the living conditions of a savings group in Zambia

In Zambia, Caritas Czech Republic supports local residents in becoming self-reliant and in personal development. Therefore, we assist people who unite in so-called savings groups within their communities. They farm together and learn new skills, which gradually helps them save money and improve their livelihoods. One of the groups that received our financial support is called Sala. Its members come from the village of Manungu in the Monze area of southern Zambia. They engage in goat rearing.

Thanks to the Caritas for Gaza fundraising campaign, we improved healthcare in the northern area

Living conditions in Gaza remain challenging despite the ceasefire. The majority of residents face a daily shortage of food, water, and basic necessities. Ninety-two per cent of houses in Gaza have been destroyed or damaged. Therefore, local people need help from the outside world. Caritas Czech Republic has been focusing its aid there primarily on healthcare and psychosocial assistance. At the end of last year, we collaborated with the organisation Juzoor, which secures accessible and safe health services in Gaza. Thanks to donations from the Caritas for Gaza fundraising campaign, we were able to provide funding for a newly established clinic in the north of the area.
