Overview
Slovakia provides food and basic material assistance through its operational programme, which aims to provide assistance to the most deprived persons and households.
In 2014, EU statistics on income and living conditions reported that 18.4% of the Slovak population were at risk of poverty or social exclusion and 21.5% of the population could not afford to eat meat, chicken or fish every other day. Most at risk are single-parent families, the elderly and the homeless.
The operational programme in Slovakia works to reduce financial pressure on at-risk groups through the provision of food and toiletry packages. Partner organisations in Slovakia deliver food aid to centres or directly to where at-risk people are living, and toiletries packages are supplied at district level.
