Innovative response

SousedskaPomoc.cz was created to provide food and medicine to people most at risk of coronavirus infection with the help of volunteers.These are mainly old and sick people who should not leave the house in the coming days at all.

Users register, link with volunteers via an application that connects people with other local other cities, and then co-ordinate with volunteers through this app.

Users can be dispatchers, couriers, seamstresses or caregivers.

Specific issues addressed and anticipated impact

There are a number of old and sick people who should not leave the house at all due to their poor health and vulnerability. This innovation will provide for healthy people who can leave their houses to deliver various key items to people in their communities who need them.
