YUNGO Company Fundraiser for Centrum LOCIKA - CHILDHOOD WITHOUT VIOLENCE
‘Tis the season, so we at YUNGO and Centrum LOCIKA are pleased to announce a Christmas fundraiser with a goal of 40.000 CZK. The aim is to provide year-round care for one child, who, like young Klára, is a victim of domestic violence.
Help us return a smile to the face of at least one child who experiences violence in his or her family. Remind someone little that the spirit of Christmas CAN bring a happy childhood.
Klára's (10 years old) and Tomáš's (5 years old) parents are in the process of a messy divorce punctuated by conflicts and violent outbursts. The children regularly witness quarrels and beatings, and get dragged into disputes where Klára sides with her mother, Tomáš with his father. Klára now suffers from anxiety and nervous tics, while Tomáš often turns on his mother in rude defiance.
"Dad screams at our mother first and then hits her. I run to her, I hold her hand and I scream at Dad too. Tomášek joins Dad. He gets up in front of him, cries and tries to hit Mom too." Klára (10)
At the LOCIKA Center, we start by talking to the parents. We explain to them what children experience during conflicts and what they need to heal. Both parents work together, and we involve them in our Childhood Without Violence program. We focus their attention on their children, and on their fundamental common interest. The family then separates in peace; Klára and Tomáš move out with their mother, but the parents also arrange for the contact between the children and their father. The family functions much better under the new arrangement; the parents meet in cafes, and sometimes they pick up Klára from therapy together. Tomáš also comes to us for therapy. Both siblings greatly appreciate their parents’ accord and their proper treatment of each other. Unburdened as a result of the change in circumstances, they return to their interests and hobbies and are able to start just being children again.
The LOCIKA Center provides therapeutic aid to 250 children every year. The aim of their work is to stop domestic violence and create conditions for children to have safe relationships with mom and dad. Join us and your gifts will go towards hours of support, listening, and finding the best solutions to making these children in their families feel safe again.
Let's support other children from the LOCIKA Center together and enable them to experience CHILDHOOD WITHOUT VIOLENCE. Let's join forces and give these children an opportunity before it's too late. Help us return a smile to the face of at least one child who experiences violence in their family; remind someone small that the spirit of Christmas CAN bring with it a happy childhood. This help makes sense, and it is needed.
We thank you for your generosity and caring about others, and wish you a Merry Christmas and happy, healthy holidays.

Children who have experienced domestic violence do not have the same childhood as other children. They experience fear for health and their life and the lives of their loved ones. They often feel responsible for the violence between their parents, and their wishes, and dreams have little to do with the childhood world. And as they grow, they often take on the same ways of behavior and communication as they have seen at home. They cannot change the family situations themselves, they need sensitive and long-term help. That is why the LOCIKA Center was established.
We appreciate your support that will enable us to help more children experience normal CHILDHOOD WITHOUT VIOLENCE.
The LOCIKA Centre is the first specialised centre for children experiencing domestic violence in the Czech Republic. In addition to helping children directly, we also strive to make the Czech Republic a place where all children have the right to a childhood free from violence. We want abuse, neglect, exploitation or other forms of violence, including any form of corporal punishment, to cease to be tolerated. That is why the Violence-Free Childhood Initiative was created, bringing together a community of people who care about the fate of children.
Thank you for your donations 💚
