Best of 2022 in Caritas Czech Republic

It sounds like a cliché, but 2022 really was a year like no other. At Caritas Czech Republic, we were fully immersed in helping people affected by the war in Ukraine. We immediately sent humanitarian aid to the country, and we also supported refugees from Ukraine in Moldova and in the Czech Republic. Our help did not stop there. We supported farmers in Zambia to withstand climate change, helped people in Iraq rebuild their livelihoods, and much more. Take a look at our biggest achievements of 2022.

Sustainable Agriculture Development in Georgia: The Challenges and Opportunities the Country is Facing

Although widely spread in mountainous regions of Georgia, livestock production is currently generating one of the lowest incomes from all livelihood activities conducted in rural areas, and thus it does not contribute much to the socio-economic development of those areas.

Caritas Czech Republic is helping Ukrainians through this difficult winter period. We are building modular houses, supplying generators and providing psychological and financial assistance.
