BAGázs is a Hungarian public benefit association that has been working since 2011 to contribute to an inclusive and accepting society in which Roma people have a chance to achieve their goals. They do not give out donations but offer the opportunity to change: the organization is working to eliminate socio-cultural disadvantages of people living in segregated settlements so that they do not inherit them.

All this can only be achieved if changes in the community of the Roma settlements and in the majority society are being set up jointly. The association seeks to make the Roma people more capable, while at the same time sensitizing and making more accepting the people belonging to the majority society.

Most of BAGázs programs are organized by volunteers, so they are directly involved in professional work – therefore they are able to sensitize the majority society as well. The employees and the 120 volunteers work in support of each other.
