The Fund for Ukrainian Pupils and Students in the Czech Republic was established in the spring of 2022 following the war in Ukraine and the arrival of Ukrainian families with children to the Czech Republic. The primary aim of the Fund is to support the education, development of children and their integration in the Czech educational system. The Fund was made possible by the generous and immediate support of CTP. Since September 2022, new partner Seznam.cz also supports the Fund.
