She co-founded a non-profit organization to raise public awareness of issues related to institutional care, and to offer support to alternative families. She also established and runs a horse-riding club for children from substitute families and orphanages.
The Czech Republic has one of the worst systems of care in Europe, with a very high percentage of children living in residential care institutions.

Alena Konecná is one of those exceptional foster parents who strives to respond to this great need.
