Four Years of Solidarity: Caritas Czech Republic supports over one hundred thousand people annually in Ukraine and in the Czech Republic

The fourth year of the war has shown how extraordinarily demanding it is for Ukraine to rebuild everyday life. For this country under attack, Caritas Czech Republic remains a committed partner, continuing to strengthen its support. We operate directly in areas near the front line, and we also assist those who have sought refuge in other parts of Ukraine or in the Czech Republic. Over the past four years, the public fundraising campaign Caritas for Ukraine has raised 185.7 million Czech crowns. In 2025 alone, Caritas supported 88,612 refugees in the Czech Republic, and tens of thousands of people in Ukraine.

Humanitarian aid in Ukraine – How to separate the truth from the myths

While people in Ukraine have been dealing with the consequences of the war for four years, people in the Czech Republic and around the world have been facing disinformation and myths about humanitarian aid for Ukraine. As Caritas Czech Republic, a non-profit organisation that has been operating in the country for a long time, we would like to shed light - and refute - the myths that resonate the most in society.

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

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.

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.
