Annual Reports

Dear friends,

If you believe that the world and relationships between people should be guided by solidarity, a willingness to help, to share, to cooperate, and to solve problems that affect all of us, then you are in the right place. Please take a moment to find out how we use the funds entrusted to us.

This report provides an overview of how we think about, and approach, issues that affect the people work with, and how we work together with those we support. Read about the approaches and values that guide us, as well as the technical and knowledge-based expertise and working methods we employ.

Here, you will find details of where, how, with whom, and for whom we provide assistance. You will also learn whom we support, as well as the objectives, results and impacts of our activities—whether we are working at home or in dozens of countries around the world. Where possible, we also engage in awareness-raising and education, and collaborate to solve systemic problems. We are interested in the root causes of problems and in identifying the underlying reasons, not merely in addressing the consequences of crises, social exclusion, poverty, or oppression.

Thank you to all of you who are not indifferent, who are willing to get involved, to make financial contributions and donate regularly, and to take an interest.

Without you, we would unable to undertake the vital work that fills these pages. I would also like to thank all my colleagues at People in Need, both at home and abroad, our volunteers, and all those who believe that empathy, aid, and cooperation are the foundation of our world.

Šimon Pánek, CEO of People in Need
