Aid After the 2024 Floods
In response to the floods in September 2024, we launched a public fundraiser. A total of 640,000 EUR was allocated to assist affected families and firefighters.
During the floods, which mainly impacted the Jeseník and Opava regions, we immediately announced a public fundraiser. To support those affected by the floods, we contributed an initial amount of 40,000 EUR, matched by the company Sazka. Our response was coordinated with other humanitarian organizations.
About the project
The floods in the Olomouc and Moravian‑Silesian regions affected 5,000 homes.
Within three weeks, donors contributed 36,000 EUR to our public fundraiser. The company Sazka donated 40,000 EUR. We decided to allocate a total of 564,000 EUR and also support volunteer firefighters. In total, we sent 640,000 EUR to the Jesenik and Opava regions.
Volunteer firefighter units were highly active. They worked day and night. In addition to demanding work on buildings and roads, they also provided psychological support. At the same time, they faced their own damages to equipment and property lost to the floods. Our foundation provided financial support to six firefighter units.
Our response was coordinated with other humanitarian organizations such as People in Need, ADRA, and the Diakonie ČCE.
