People in Need’s ‘Real Gift’ program is back this holiday season, giving Czechs the ability to support various causes around the world from stocking classrooms in Ethiopia, to providing safe births to mothers in Cambodia. This year, there is particular urgency to support Ukraine and northern Syria, as head of the program Tomas Vyhnalek explained to me.
“The ‘Real Gift’ program is an e-shop where you can buy gifts and give them throughout Christmas time. You can help children suffering from malnutrition, support classrooms in Ethiopia, or provide a safe and secure birth for a mother in Cambodia.”
Are there any areas and regions in the world that you’re working with that are in particular need of extra support right now?
“Definitely – we have huge programs in Ukraine, and winter is coming so the situation is going to be very difficult there. If any donor hears us, please support us in Ukraine. But also in Syria we have programs working in refugee camps in the north of the country. The situation there is also quite desperate, and there was an earthquake in February of this year, and it really worsened the situation for refugees in the north of Syria.”
