Kézenfogva Alapítvány
Our firm belief is that an ideal society should be inclusive, where people with intellectual and multiple disability are equivalent members of society in every segment of social life. They live amongst non disabled people, they are free to play, learn, work and they have the same rights as others. In this world, they are known and accepted as partners by the non-disabled. Hand in Hand Foundation devotes its capacity and sources to create a society free of exclusion.
