The war in Ukraine has brought moments of uncertainty, loss, and sudden uprooting into the lives of thousands of children. Many of them have lost their homes, their schools, and the natural environment they need so much for their development.
At this very moment, it is crucial to extend a helping hand — to provide a space where they can continue their education, grow, and rebuild their future. At the Tereza Maxová Foundation for Children, we believe that quality education and sensitive integration are essential not only for each individual child, but also for the society that welcomes them. Together, we are learning how solidarity and respect can overcome barriers and create room for understanding.
The predecessor of the Fund for Education and Integration was the Fund for Supporting and Educating Ukrainian Pupils and Students in the Czech Republic. It was established in 2022 with the aim of supporting the education, development, and integration of children and young people into everyday life here. Thanks to the generous and timely support of CTP Invest, spol. s r.o., Seznam.cz, a.s., BRAND CONCEPT s.r.o., and LF Masaryčka s.r.o., the fund was able to provide targeted assistance where it was most needed until 2025, supporting 127 applications for a total of 1 395 children.
Since 2026, the financial partner of the Fund for support of Education and Integration has been the Moneta Clementia Foundation.
Below you will find detailed information about the conditions and rules for drawing from the fund.
