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.

Electronic boxing pad, drums, and a bubble wall. What does the first school psychological relief room in Transcarpathia look like?

Ukrainian childhood during the war means daily stress, danger, relocation, and loss of family and friends. That is why Caritas Czech Republic has joined efforts to support mental well-being in school communities in western Ukraine. In cooperation with the All-Ukrainian Mental Health Programme ‘How Are You?’, local and regional authorities, we have created the first school psychological relief room in Transcarpathia. This experience can be spread to other schools in the region.

You are rays of sunshine. 3,000 people near the front line received essentials and solid fuel to survive the frosts

Winter during wartime is a dangerous trial for the front-line communities. Much of the infrastructure here is damaged. Electricity is almost non-existent, and homes can only be heated with firewood. Zoya Mykolayivna lives in a village 30 km from the combat zone in Dnipropetrovsk region. It is extremely difficult for a lonely pensioner to survive the cold. We do not leave such people alone in their hardship and deliver solid fuel and winter kits so that they can feel warmth and care again.
