Help Ukraine

In this terrible and tragic situation we have joined efforts and provide help to Ukrainian refugees. Thousands of unfortunate, frightened people came to Zakarpatie in the West Ukraine and to the High Tatras region in Slovakia.

In the Tatra region of Slovakia, we created a coordination council of representatives of non-profit organizations and the Slovak Paradise National Park – the first park in Slovakia which responded to this tragic situation and offered help. We cannot wait for  aid from the state or European Union, we need to help these people immediately. Our adhoc partnership consists of NGOs Association for Nature conservation “Machaon International”, Tourism Association of High Tatras region, Tatra Parliament, TraverseHelp and Target school for providing food, medical supplies, transport or adaptation H for refugees.
