Renáta Kellnerová and her daughters donate CZK 170 million to support Ukrainian civilians affected by the humanitarian crisis

The funds will be provided to the Olena Zelenska Foundation, which delivers targeted and timely assistance to children and families affected by the war. The donation will be used to strengthen the resilience of critical social infrastructure through the procurement of generators, charging stations, inverters and batteries for schools, hospitals, senior care homes and local communities; to provide humanitarian support to foster and large foster families caring for children deprived of parental care; and to equip shelters and food facilities in schools and kindergartens as part of the “Safe School” initiative.

“Last week’s fundraising effort by Czech citizens was very inspiring to us. We cannot just stand by and watch as people in the Ukraine struggle for basic necessities such as warmth, light or drinking water. After consulting with President Petr Pavel, we decided to focus our assistance on those most in need—children in kindergartens and schools, patients in hospitals, foster families and seniors. It is the least we can do for them in this difficult time,” said Renáta Kellnerová.
