Record donations for Three Kings charity drive
The Three Kings charity collection, organized by Caritas Czech Republic, raised a record 184 million crowns this year, surpassing last year's 176 million. The majority of the funds—175 million crowns—was collected in 28,800 donation boxes by volunteers in early January. Additional donations were made online and via non-cash methods, continuing throughout the year.
The funds will support people in difficult life situations. The proceeds are distributed as follows: 65% to local municipalities, 15% to regional charity work, 10% to international emergency aid, 5% for national projects, and 5% covers the collection’s administrative costs.
