People in Need (Člověk v tísni) is a Czech charitable organisation with an impressively global reach. Founded in the early 1990s in the wake of the Velvet Revolution, the non-profit, non-governmental organisation seeks to provide humanitarian support and foster human rights across forty countries, as well as within Czechia itself. Danny Bate sat down with Jan Mrkvička, the director of its Relief and Development Department, to talk about his career, the ongoing projects of People in Need, and the annual Christmas scheme that helps people to give a ‘real gift’.
