Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign will support psychological care

For the fifth year now, Ukrainians have been facing the consequences of Russia’s aggression, from missile attacks and power outages to damaged infrastructure and disruptions to essential services. Some have been sent to the front lines, others have lost relatives or their homes, while many spend nights rushing to shelters because of the escalating shelling. The war in Ukraine affects everyone – even the ones living near the borders with the European Union. In western Ukraine, we therefore support the psychological care and renovation of the Mental Health Centre for children and youths in Lviv. These activities are funded by the public campaign Caritas for Ukraine.

6 good things we did together within the Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign

This winter, Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy grid caused extensive power outages. As the war entered its fifth year, households were left without heating, electricity, or water during extremely low temperatures. People in the Czech Republic did not hesitate to show their solidarity. In this article, you will learn where the help from your contributions to the Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign was directed. Together, we were able to provide immediate assistance, for example, in Kyiv and Kharkiv. We have shown that our support is unbreakable—just like the determination and courage of the people of Ukraine. Thank you!

The bombing blew out windows and doors. The shelter's residents in Kryvyi Rih found comfort with Caritas Czech Republic

On the eve of winter, damp and cold prevailed in the rooms of the Polytechnic College dormitory in the frontline town of Kryvyi Rih. A drone attack damaged the windows of the building, sheltering more than 120 evacuees from the combat zone. Most of them are single elderly people and people with disabilities. As part of a life-saving aid project, we replaced the windows so that the shelter's residents could stay warm.

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.
