The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta is supporting the integration of three thousand refugees
The Hungarian Charity Service of the Order of Malta will sign a one-year subsidy contract with 150 Ukrainian families residing in Hungary and the organization will also support an additional 2500 refugees during a 3-month period in order to aid the integration of those planning to stay in Hungary long term. With the help of the EU funded integration program, Ukrainian families can live in an apartment rented for them for one year. The beneficiaries are enrolled in accelerated Hungarian language courses while their personal mentors help them with enrolling the children in the public school system, obtaining the required documents, and they also assist the working-age family members with job seeking. The aim of the program is to help the families become self-sufficient and able to take care of themselves without further assistance after one year. The beneficiaries receive monetary support as well. As a recent innovation in the social sector, the Charity Service transfers a fix amount to a “humanitarian card” and the balance can be used only to pay for pre-determined expenses.
