Over 80 million CZK raised in the Three Kings Collection! How does it help in developing countries?

As every year, the traditional Three Kings Collection took place this January. However, this year was different because due to the epidemiological situation, the carol had to do without the carolers in the streets. Donations were collected in special boxes in various places or they were sent online or via DMS. Despite the difficulties, almost 80,3 million CZK was raised. The fundraiser is still open and you can support it online or by sending DMS until the end of April. Let us show you how the money from the collection helped in developing countries in the last year.
