Moldova

Caritas Czech Republic has been operating in Moldova since 2004. We are dedicated to developing social and health services, and efficient waste management. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, we have expanded our work to include humanitarian aid to provide for the basic needs of Ukrainian refugees.

Humanitarian aid for Ukrainian refugees

From the first days of the war, we have been involved in helping refugees from Ukraine. We have equipped 12 refugee accommodation centres and increased medical and psychosocial services availability. We have also supported displaced Ukrainians through direct financial support, enabling long-term financial self-sufficiency and helping them rebuild a decent life.

Development of social and healthcare services

We have opened 11 home care centres in Moldova. Thanks to the development of telemedicine, we are increasing access to healthcare, especially in remote regions. We have also trained over 5,000 doctors, nurses and social workers. We are involved in preparing legislative changes to introduce an efficient home care and social services model in the country.

Efficient waste management

Moldova's rural regions still need help with illegal landfills and the need for an effective waste management system. We are helping local institutions with functional and sustainable waste management.

Caritas Czech Republic's worldwide achievements in 2025

The year 2025 brought both good and bad news. While a ceasefire was successfully agreed upon in Gaza in October, the humanitarian situation on site remains critical. People lack drinking water, food, medicine, electricity, and safe shelter. In Ukraine and Syria, people are also grappling with the consequences of long-term conflict. Caritas Czech Republic is working to improve their living conditions. For example, we are providing psychosocial care in Gaza, supporting the development of medical facilities in Ukraine, and restoring access to drinking water in Syria. We are also securing local water sources in Ethiopia, where we are simultaneously focusing on modernising agriculture, thereby enabling local farmers to better manage the impacts of climate change. However, this represents only the tip of the iceberg of our activities around the world. Let us, therefore, recall the greatest successes of Caritas Czech Republic’s work over the past year.

5 ways Caritas Czech Republic helps protect the environment and respond to climate change

Drought, polluted water, failed crops. For many of the communities that we support, the effects of climate change are part of everyday life. That is why our humanitarian and development work increasingly focuses on protecting the environment and building climate resilience. We provide training for farmers, improve access to water, support innovative solutions, and deliver aid that does not burden nature. Here is what that looks like in practice.

Water is life. Yet billions lack access to it

Water is life. Yet billions lack access to it

Water is the foundation of life. We need it to survive, stay healthy, grow food, and support economies. Yet, billions face water scarcity due to climate change, population growth, and poor resource management. In many regions, prolonged droughts and desertification are forcing people to leave their homes in search of water. Caritas Czech Republic is working to provide sustainable solutions, helping communities secure reliable access to this vital resource.
