Czech Diaconia also helps in Ukraine

Diaconia, more precisely the Centre for Humanitarian and Development Cooperation, together with the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prague City Hall and thanks to hundreds of individual donors, financially supports Myrne Nebo in its humanitarian activities.

7200 meals for Kherson and Kharkiv
This is the daily norm that Myrne Nebo provides to ensure that people in the Kherson and Kharkiv regions have enough to eat. Many places there are cut off from the world – no electricity, no shops, no passable roads. The only way to cook is on a fire. For two years, Myrne Nebo has been running a kitchen that delivers hot meals and food or hygiene packages every day. It will continue to do so, including in the coming winter season.

For children
Kupyansk, Izyum, Kharkiv and many other cities and villages. Because of the war, there is no standard schooling here, and children are taught from home online. What they then miss is direct contact with their peers. Myrne Nebo is trying to make up for that. The organization has built a network of 14 well-equipped children's centers. Children can spend their free time here playing games, playing sports and especially meeting friends. Psychologists help them understand the traumatic reality and find ways to cope with the heavy emotional burden.

Rescue home

Already around 300 houses, flooded with water from the breached Kakhovka Dam, have been cleared and treated by sanitation with the help of Myrne Nebo. In addition, the organization is launching a large-scale campaign to provide information about mines and unexploded ordnance. Both are almost ubiquitous in the area, and both threaten hundreds of lives. Trained instructors will therefore explain to adults and children how to prevent the threat of mines and munitions and what to do if they encounter them.
