Czech donors sent over 900.000 CZK for a solar power plant at Ukrainian hospital

Last year, donors from Czechia contributed over CZK 900,000 to construct a solar power plant for the children's hospital in Zaporizhzhia, located in southeastern Ukraine, between May and December. Combined with funding from the partnering Ukrainian organization Ecoclub, this amount is sufficient to establish the power plant, which will help mitigate power outages caused by Russian aggression.

The Brno-based non-profit organization Nesehnutí announced the results of the Sun for Ukraine fundraising campaign in a press release. Previously, along with Ecoclub, they raised funds for power plants for hospitals in Sumy and Zhytomyr, as well as for a center for war veterans in Lviv.

The children's hospital in Zaporizhzhia is situated just a few dozen kilometers from the war front. It provides specialized medical services, including dialysis for both children and adults, and serves over 100,000 patients annually. Currently, more than 150,000 individuals displaced by the war, who remain in Zaporizhzhia, also rely on its services. Additionally, the facility cares for over 200 newborns each year, including those born prematurely.
