Life goes on in Syria. How is Caritas Czech Republic supporting civil society in the northwest?

The war in Syria has been going on for over 11 years. But Syrians are trying to carry on with their lives despite the conflict. Young people, in particular, have the desire and energy to become active in society and participate in the future of their country.

How we help Afghan refugees in Turkey thanks to the Caritas for Afghanistan fundraising appeal

30 August marks the one-year anniversary of the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan, after which the Taliban shortly retook power in the country. This has exacerbated the already poor security situation in the country and significantly deepened the humanitarian crisis. Large numbers of Afghans have been left with no option but to flee the country. We are helping those who have fled Afghanistan to Turkey to provide the basic necessities so that they can stand on their own feet in their new country.
