Let’s change it together, now!
We are a support organisation, providing professional, human and financial assistance for the creation and development of communities in Hungary.
Our goal is to initiate profound social change in Hungary by supporting bottom-up initiatives that increase individual initiative and responsibility, as well as strengthen trust and solidarity in society.
