Since the first day of the war in Ukraine, Hungarian Baptist Aid has been working to care for the refugees who have fled the war. They cooperate with international organizations and members of the Charity Council, the largest aid organizations in Hungary. They renovated a shelter for refugees coming from Ukraine and have been operating it ever since.
They also work through general anti-trafficking activities ranging from the prevention of trafficking to the assistance of those who fell victim to it.
