📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Our organization is called Menedékház (menedékház means: shelter house) and was founded in 2005. Our foundation’s goal is helping homeless people and families in need –providing them accomodation and helping them to increase their chances for reintegration with the help of social work and other services.
In the foundation, the presence and the help of volunteers is very important. With them, it’s possible to organize bigger events for families, children or homeless people, and the foundation can provide extra services for the clients (lessons for children, language clubs, leisure activities, etc.). Volunteers from abroad can cooperate with Hungarian volunteers and create programs and projects together.
The aim of the project is to support disadvantaged groups, to raise social solidarity, to increase equal opportunities and to enrich cultural experiences. The volunteers will help at Menedékház Foundation to homeless people and families to make their daily lives easier and colorful
🏠 Accommodation on site
