Foundation » Who We Are
Summary
The Blue Bird Family Foundation (Kék Madár Családsegítő Alapítvány) started in Hungary, 1999, to help people in Central and Eastern Europe to learn and rely on Christian values, to achieve their potential, and to find solutions to the questions and the problems they face—spiritual, emotional and physical.
We are active and committed counsellors, teachers and aid workers, who work hand-in-hand with people from many walks of life. Individually, we have unique — and fitting — skills and approaches to the problems that confront us. Yet, we have found that as a team, we are able to draw on many years of experience working with people and communities in many parts of the world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the quality of life for all — both the "rich" and "the poor" — providing help for the needy, solace for the forlorn and practical solutions to the problems and challenges that lay before peoples of all ages, languages, and cultural backgrounds. Through our integral support network, we bring relief, comfort, encouragement, joy and sustained solutions for the individuals we meet.
Experience and expertise give us the opportunity and allow us the flexibility to undertake a large range of engagements — from focusing on one specific need to developing and publishing large-scale character and faith-building programmes.
To help achieve our aims, we offer a variety of services. For more on this, please see the page “What We Offer”. Our ultimate success is measured by our contribution to happier, stronger and confident individuals — not merely our dedicated service.
It is our goal that after getting to know and work with us, you will have the insight and tools you need to reach out and help others around you.
What Motivates Us
In today's society, true values are increasingly harder to find. They are not, however, lost or forgotten.
Having personally experienced the life-changing power of Christian faith, truths and principles, we endeavour to follow Jesus' example, to "preach the Gospel to the poor… to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord" (The Gospel According to Saint Luke, chapter 4, verses 18 and 19)
