The most persecuted religion of the world is Christianity. The Hungarian government was the first in the world to establish a special administrative organ, the State Secretariat for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, and it launched the Hungary Helps Program in 2017.

According to the Open Doors USA organization, 13 Christians are killed every day worldwide because of their faith, which means one out of eight Christian is persecuted in the world. 

The purpose of the Hungary Helps programme is not only to improve the daily lives of those who are in need, but also to create peaceful coexistence.
