Hungarian Baptist Aid (HBAid) was begun by Sándor Szenczy and supported by the Hungarian Baptist Church and officially registered at the Court of Fejér County in 1996. Sándor Szenczy continues as the organization’s current president. Since its inception, as the Deed of Foundation records, the goal of HBAid has been to help people in need within and outside Hungary, following Jesus Christ’s command of love. Beginning with its first donation of 5000 Ft, HBAid grew to be one of the largest aid organizations in Hungary. As a public benefit organization, working with 3000 full-time staff members and hundreds of volunteers, the value of the aid’s work can be measured in thousands of millions of HUF. HBAid provides regular relief assistance, by providing physical humanitarian aid as well as emotional and psychological support. It implements these programs in 18 countries around the world for needy and socially marginalized people in order to ease their difficult situation and give them a chance to have a more humane life. Our purpose is to meet the emotional, psychological and physical needs of the destitute whether this is on an occasional or regularbasis; within or outside the country; regardless of the person’s origin, nationality, religion, or race.

The Hungarian Red Cross was established in 1881. It was recognized by the International Committee of the Red Cross in 1882. Since 1921 it has been a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It carries out its activities on the basis of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, “For the protection of the victims of war”, to which the Republic of Hungary is party. The activities of the Hungarian Red Cross are based on the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Today's migration and the refugee crisis pose unprecedented challenges across Europe and in Hungary. The Hungarian Jesuits began preparing a refugee assistance program in July. On this basis, they launch programmes and initiate cooperation to mitigate the crisis situation. Within the framework of the program, we especially see our task to reflect and raise awareness that strengthens social consensus, concrete current help and a mentoring program that helps future real integration.

With its assistance programs in the sixth month of the war, the Hungarian Maltese Charity Service supports the integration of three thousand Ukrainian refugees who will remain in Hungary in the long term. Over the past six months, the charity has provided direct assistance to seventy thousand refugees and delivered more than four hundred tons of durable food to Ukraine.

Menedék – Hungarian Association for Migrants has been helping the social integration of immigrants arriving in and departing from Hungary, through a set of social, educational and cultural programs built on more than 20 years of experience.

Oltalom Charity Society was founded in 1989 by a group of people who recognized the needs of disadvantaged, socially abandoned, vulnerable, endangered persons. As a matter of conscience, they established an organization that would endeavor to alleviate the needs of such individuals and groups. The goal of the Society is to locate and support people in need and to raise the awareness and support of the general public. The Society works in the belief that that it is possible to restore its clients to a decent human life. Its workers strive to be patient and ready to serve those who require only temporary help and who want to continue their walk of life independently.
