Ukraine
Caritas for Ukraine
The war continues. So does our support.
In Ukraine, the war proceeds with devastating consequences for civilians. Millions of people have lost their homes and live in makeshift conditions without water, heat, or medical care. Caritas Czech Republic helps directly on the ground — providing dignified housing for internally displaced people, repairing damaged homes and medical facilities, building modular shelters, supplying drinking water, opening mental health centres, and supporting education and retraining.
Almost 11 million people need urgent assistance, and just under 4 million are internally displaced. Attacks reach schools, hospitals, and residential buildings. The health care system is overloaded, and life in uncertainty leaves serious psychological effects.
Why helping for Ukraine is still needed
War in Ukraine: our help continues
In recent weeks, Ukraine has been facing escalating missile and drone attacks that also strike areas far from the front line and target civilians. This May recorded the highest number of civilian casualties since April 2022. People live in uncertainty, often spending hours in shelters and losing their homes. Humanitarian assistance is needed for around 10.8 million people. Thanks to the support of our donors, we can continue to provide aid to people in Ukraine and offer hope in these difficult times.
Our direct assistance in Ukraine
A home for those who lost theirs
The war has deprived millions of people of their homes and forced them into temporary shelters or overcrowded accommodations. We build modular homes for internally displaced families and assist with reconstruction. We insulate homes, provide firewood for heating, and secure drinking water even near the front lines.
Modernizing healthcare and qualified personnel
Many hospitals have been damaged or overwhelmed by an influx of injured and sick people. We modernize medical facilities, expand rehabilitation and reproductive health services, and train medical personnel to deliver quality care even under the hardest conditions.
A path to independence
Displaced people often start from zero — without jobs, contacts, or any support system. We offer courses that give them new skills, open pathways to employment, and allow them to live independently without relying on aid.
