Caritas for Ukraine: Let’s equip underground schools before winter for three thousand children

Air-raid sirens in Kharkiv continue to sound. Ukraine’s second-largest city faces almost daily attacks that threaten civilians and critical infrastructure. Yet thousands of families remain, and children are striving to continue their education despite the war. That is why we are launching a special autumn campaign. All donations made to the Caritas for Ukraine fundraising campaign between 20 October and the end of December will be used to equip underground schools and a kindergarten in Kharkiv, helping them operate safely throughout the coming winter months.
Sustainable agriculture needs more than machinery: Caritas will provide both in Zambia

Sustainable agriculture needs more than machinery: Caritas will provide both in Zambia

There is an old saying that if you give someone a fish, you feed them for a day, but if you teach them how to fish, you feed them for a lifetime. Creating a lasting impact is also one of the primary goals of development cooperation. As part of the mechanisation of Zambian agriculture, we are therefore not only bringing modern Czech technologies to the country. A key role will also be played by the service centre SARO Agro Industrial Ltd., which will supply farmers with spare parts locally and provide maintenance and repair services for the machinery.
One year since the ceasefire: What has (not) changed in Gaza?

One year since the ceasefire: What has (not) changed in Gaza?

Three years ago, Hamas militants attacked Israel. More than 1,200 people were killed and others were taken hostage. The fighting that followed in the Gaza Strip triggered one of the world's largest ongoing humanitarian crises. By June this year, the conflict in Gaza had claimed more than 74,000 lives and displaced two million people. The ceasefire signed a year ago was expected to bring an end to the violence and improve living conditions. Yet the situation in Gaza remains dire. So, what has really changed over the past year? 
Supporting people through difficult times: How Caritas cares for mental health around the world

Supporting people through difficult times: How Caritas cares for mental health around the world

World Mental Health Day, observed annually on 10 October, reminds us that mental well-being is just as important as physical health. That is why mental health is a core part of our work at Caritas Czech Republic. For example, in Gaza and Ukraine, we support people whose mental health has been profoundly affected by the long-term consequences of armed conflict. We also contribute to the development of mental health services in Georgia and Moldova.

From technology to experience: Caritas will support the mechanisation of agriculture in Ethiopia

Agriculture in Ethiopia has long faced challenges that hinder its development and, consequently, the economic self-sufficiency of local communities. With financial support from the Czech Development Agency and in partnership with Caritas Addis, Caritas Czech Republic is implementing the ArgiMECH-ET project, which aims to bring modern agricultural technologies and expertise to Ethiopia. What specific shortcomings in the agricultural sector is the project designed to address, and how will cooperation between Czech and Ethiopian institutions be carried out?

Zambian delegation visits the Czech Republic to forge new partnerships in agricultural mechanisation

Czech technologies are set to play a role in Zambian agriculture. This is the goal of the ZAMAGRO: Mechanization & Innovation for Commercial Farming Growth in Zambia project, implemented by Caritas Czech Republic and financially supported by the Czech Development Agency. In September, a delegation of Zambian farmers, entrepreneurs and institutional representatives travelled to Prague to meet local manufacturers of agricultural machinery and establish new partnerships.

When the water recedes: Nepal faces a long road to recovery

Flash floods swept through the Himalayan valley along the Bhotekoshi River less than a month ago. The affected families now face a long journey towards recovery, from repairing their homes and helping children return to school to rebuilding their livelihoods. Caritas Nepal, which we support from the Czech Republic, continues to stand alongside people as they cope with the consequences of the disaster. In addition to providing immediate humanitarian assistance, the organisation is preparing longer-term measures to help families restore their lives and become more resilient to similar risks in the future.

Separated by war: A mother's testimony from Gaza

For many parents, the thought of being separated from their children is unbearable. Yet war has a way of turning such nightmares into reality. Nesma knows this all too well. In October 2023, she accompanied her son to the West Bank so that he could undergo heart surgery. When the conflict in Gaza erupted, their journey home became unexpectedly complicated. Nesma was separated from her twelve other children for months. The testimony of her family is a stark reminder of the devastating impact armed conflicts have on the lives of innocent civilians. What role did Caritas Czech Republic play in their story?
Children, purpose, pets. What keeps people displaced by war moving forward

Children, purpose, pets. What keeps people displaced by war moving forward

War takes away more than homes and possessions. It uproots lives — family traditions, years of work, familiar faces and plans for the future. ‘Every day I wake up waiting for the news that we can finally go home,’ says Liliia, 65, from Kramatorsk. Nadiia, a young mother from Kryvyi Rih, is living with the same uncertainty. Natalia from Donetsk has lost her home twice, yet found the strength to keep moving forward. Their stories are about rebuilding life and finding hope.

Caritas is like my parent, says farmer Nyandwi from Zambia

Three stories from Zambia: Nyandwi, Leya and Joseph are farmers and parents. Just like many others, they try to protect their soil from the impacts of climate change, partly so that they can support their children in studies and provide them with a more stable future. Caritas Czech Republic helped them gain knowledge and equipment to support their production during worsening climate conditions. As Nyandwi says, our organisation becomes a source of support for them and gives them hope for a brighter future.
