In 2022, we are launching our 27th annual Advent Fundraising campaign. This year, extreme price increases are making life harder for everyone and families need every penny. Yet, we are asking for your support because we know that when times are tough, it is not the large individual donations that gets those in need through the toughest times, but the power of community.

Hungarian Interchurch Aid’s broad network of social institutions throughout the country help thousands of families in need 365 days a year by providing food, home and a chance to improve their situation. Energy prices, the price of food and so many other essential items and services has skyrocketed, which threatens the continuation of this work at the exact time when it is needed more than ever.

We believe that it is in our interest as a society to be there for those who are being pushed into even more desperate situations by this economic crisis. We believe that we must not let go of the hands of the more than 3000 disadvantaged children who participate regularly in our inclusion programmes.

With your support:

300 000

servings of meals are handed out for people in need annually.

300

families who lost their homes receive safe shelter.

1250

homeless people receive help regularly.

3000

disadvantaged children receive support by participating in our development programmes regularly.

How do we help?

Food

"Ibolya lost her job, so it is on her husband to provide for the family with 3 children. The family of 5 has been living in a small, rented apartment in Csepel, a working-class district of Budapest for 13 years, unable to move out due to financial reasons. Now utility bills, rent, food and the school-related costs of children all depend on one salary. Hungarian Interchurch Aid supports them with food donations in their struggle."

Home

"Katalin and her husband are raising three children in Kaposvár.
"Our gas utility bill has arrived - from now on we have to pay $125 every month, even after deducting government subsidies. My husband works a lot, but I can't because of an accident and I'm still under treatment, so it's getting harder to get by. My children and I regularly take part in the development sessions at the Sure Start Children's Home, and luckily we always get support. Sometimes we get toiletries, sometimes diapers. We always get what we need most. Without their help I don't know how we would get through this difficult time." "

Chance

"Szilvia is unable to work due to a long-term illness. The 40-year-old mother had to support herself and her 15-year-old daughter from $100 a month before fleeing from her abusive husband and brother to the Temporary Home for Families run by Hungarian Interchurch Aid in Miskolc. Szilvia says they have found a home here and are getting all the help they need to get back on their feet, both mentally and financially.
