Help Rebuild Lives: Urgent Aid for Flooded Roma Communities in Central Europe
Description:
The floods of 2024 have left thousands of families in Central and Eastern Europe homeless, without food, clean water, or necessities. Among the hardest hit are Roma families, already facing significant challenges in accessing local aid.
ERGO Network works closely with local partners, like Life Together in Ostrava, to provide immediate humanitarian support to Roma and non-Roma families. While the state and other organisations are working to provide humanitarian aid, some more vulnerable families cannot access it right away and need our support.
We aim to collect a small fund to bridge this gap and ensure our people are not left behind in this crisis.
As floodwaters recede, families are left with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They need our help to clean their homes, feed their children, and start rebuilding their lives.
Fundraising Goals Breakdown:
Our initial target is €5,000 to support urgent relief efforts in Ostrava, Czechia, and other affected areas. Here’s how your contribution will make an impact:
- €1,500 – Provide cleaning supplies and tools (shovels, disinfectants, gloves) for 50 families to clean and restore their homes.
- €1,500 – Deliver food and bottled water to 50 families, ensuring they have enough to eat and drink for the critical days ahead.
- €1,000 – Supply warm blankets and clothing to 50 families who have lost everything in the flood.
- €1,000 – Equip 60 children with essential school supplies so they can return to school and continue their education despite the crisis.
Call to Action:
We need your help now more than ever. Every euro counts in providing life-saving aid to families who have lost everything.
Donate today to bring relief and hope to Roma families and others affected by the floods. With your support, we can ensure that no one is left behind as these communities rebuild their lives.
- €20 will provide a family or volunteers with cleaning supplies kits.
- €30 will cover food and water for a couple of days until humanitarian aid becomes available
- €15 will ensure a child has the school supplies they need to return to the classroom.
Let’s stand in solidarity with Roma and non-Roma families.
