Social responsibility has been in Autonapůl's genes from the beginning, and of course we cannot stand aside now. We all hoped that everything would return to normal, but unfortunately quieter times do not await us now. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a clear violation of the UN Charter and a clear act of aggression, which is a crime under international law.
We condemn the violence and stand for the citizens of Ukraine.
Help offer
We appreciate the commitment of all volunteers and thank them for their great work. If you are going to actively help yourself or you know about a specific demand where we could help with shared cars, please let us know. We will consider our options according to the specific situation.
Train for Ukraine
As a team, we plan to help next week within the Train for Ukraine project, which is close to us not only in thought but also in personal involvement.
The initiative operates a humanitarian train, which used to prove itself in a tornado in Moravia. A regular train carries humanitarian aid to Ukraine and back passengers, ie women, children and people over the age of 60. The sets are provided alternately by Czech Railways, Cheetah Express, Arriva and free of charge. Capacity is 10 wagons (800 - 1000 seats).
The initiative also organizes humanitarian collections in Brno, Prague, Ostrava, Pardubice and Havířov.

How can you help?
Please help as well. Material collections are taking place throughout the country. We recommend that you turn to experienced humanitarian organizations that can coordinate aid and most effectively target where it is most needed.
The joint efforts of the helping organizations created a website with all the possibilities of support. You will find everything clearly on the page https://www.pomahejukrajine.cz/.
Large collections
The easiest way is to send a financial gift. You can support, for example, the collection organized by People in Need, the collection of the Red Cross Ukraine, Charity for Ukraine, the Memory of Nations collection, help to children through UNICEF, ADRA, Train for Ukraine or the defense material collection of the Embassy of Ukraine in the Czech Republic.

Small organizations
We also share the call of the Via Foundation. Let us not forget to support small organizations that have long been working with foreigners in the Czech Republic and have much-needed experience. Due to the sudden situation of unexpected proportions, they face a lack of human resources. These are long-term capacities - interpreters, coordinators, lawyers, psychotherapists… At Darujme.cz it is now possible to contribute to the following collections:
InBáze and collection in order to provide Ukrainian children with leisure and educational activities that will allow them for at least a few hours, even in a foreign country, to live as normal a life as possible.
SIMI The aim of the collection is to raise funds to coordinate aid, which is growing and it is important that it is used as efficiently as possible.
Organization for Aid to Refugees.You will support an organization that has been providing free legal and social counseling for more than 30 years, helping people in education, employment or housing, and coordinating volunteers.
