January 13, 2026 Humanitární pomoc a rozvojová spolupráce Charity ČR

Oleksandra found a job as an accountant in Lviv. Thanks to Caritas, she improved her skills and now contributes to the growth of a well-known local shop.

In the weeks before Christmas, Caritas Czech Republic visited Lviv. We also stopped by a shop called „Something Interesting“, which sells blown glass products typical of the town. Oleksandra works as the shop’s accountant. She moved to Lviv from Zaporizhzhia before the war began. She did not plan to settle down, but the conflict has extended her stay indefinitely. Thanks to support from Caritas Czech Republic, she attended two courses that helped her strengthen the company’s growth.

A lifesaving firewood stove. Little Evelina's family will survive the winter in warmth thanks to donated solid fuel

The war forced two-year-old Evelina and her parents, Yevhen and Marjana, to flee their hometown of Marganets in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The family settled in a rural house, where the only source of warmth in winter is an old wood-burning stove. Due to unemployment and the rising cost of solid fuel, it is extremely difficult to heat the house throughout the winter, so the family is grateful for the help provided by Caritas Czech Republic and the Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.

Summer of Ukrainian children between laughter and sirens

Childhood in Ukraine has now unfolded under the shadow of war for three consecutive years. Despite the ongoing conflict, children strive to experience summer like their peers elsewhere in the world – playing, travelling, creating, and dreaming. Yet their stories are shaped by anxiety, separation, and the daily threat of air raids. Several children and parents from different regions of Ukraine shared how they spent their summer holidays and what they experienced. Many of them have benefited from the services of Caritas Czech Republic in Ukraine or are actively cooperating with the organisation.

Caritas Czech Republic provided comfort for twelve vulnerable families in the western Ukraine

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Caritas Czech Republic has been providing decent living conditions for war-affected families in western Ukraine. Recently, we purchased essential household appliances for 12 flats in the village of Kernytsia, in the Lviv region. Here, the local community, together with charitable organisations, transformed the former village council building into social housing. Thanks to this, Olha and her young children now have a safe new home.
