As a philanthropist and a real estate businesswoman with a net worth exceeding 6.2 billion CZK, Ivana Tykac has consistently supported single mothers and their families through initiatives like “Women for Women,” ensuring school lunches for an additional thirteen thousand students, and the “Housing for Children” project. Thanks to last year’s contributions, hundreds of families with children were able to secure dignified and safe housing.

Furthermore, Ivana Tykac has played an active role in providing assistance to refugees from war-torn Ukraine this year. Within the first weeks of the conflict, she facilitated accommodation and integration for over 250 refugees, predominantly mothers with young children. She also dispatched a humanitarian truck with aid worth nearly 2 million CZK to the Buca and Kharkiv regions.
