Zsidai IMPACT

The You Belong! Foundation’s is an organisation for the education, catching up and integration of disadvantaged children in Ózd, Hungary, which has been operating since 2011. We are happy that this year the Zsidai Group was able to contribute to the support of the children!

Owner Ilona Zsidai has been a long-term supporter of The ‘Nemzetközi Gyermekmentő Szolgálat’ (International Children’s Care) that helps disadvantaged children in Hungary to have a better education and to start their carriers with even chance. In 2019 our company joined the foundation’s Scholarship Program where we help four talented but disadvantaged children from the age of 7 till their final exams in universities to have a better opportunity in their studies.

Bátor Tábor returns cancer-afflicted and chronically ill children to their carefree childhoods. They camp is not a summer camp in the classical meaning of the term. They place children outside of their comfort zones through special experiences. By overcoming their fears, they can recognise that they are ready to confront not only the challenges involved in their adventures, but also their illness. They put smiles on their faces; they give them power for their struggle. They change lives. We are happy to support the foundation’s work and through them, to support children.

UNICEF is known for its worldwide programs but in 2018 they launched the ‘Kilátó Program’ (Lookout Program) where they show disadvantaged children the beauty of the world and the opportunities in life by introducing them people and places. They travel to big cities, visit museums, eat in restaurants and talk to as many people as they can so that they see the possibilities. We are happy to provide one great experience to them every year.

Only 4% of the young gypsies are white collar workers - that is why Roy Zsidai’s former company, Boston Consulting Group launched the Integrom Program to give chance and show opportunities to young, educated and talented romanies to work in big, multinational companies. We believe in equality in the workforce and we are proud to help spread Integrom’s mission.

“The heroes give their blood” - says the Hungarian Red Cross’s slogan. We are not heroes but we really like to help. So we organize twice in a year a blood donation where our colleagues join with a lots of love.

“Shoebox Acition” (Cipősdoboz Akció) is one of the biggest social donation campaign in Hungary around the festive season. Everybody can put little gifts in a shoebox, wrap in and give age and gender of the child, who want to surprise. Our colleges collect every year the shoeboxes and bring them to the donate points.

Domestic talents and artists are very important to us and we want to help people in difficult situations. The perfect combination of these two noble goals was born into the Autistic Art Foundation. They goal is simple: they want to help people with autism every minute of every day. We would like them to be able to live in an environment most suited for them as well as working on making living with autism in Hungary easier through development programs, research and communication. From 2020, we are trying to help with this noble goal in the framework of closer cooperation.

All 4 children of the Zsidai family attended and are still attending the Budavár Primary School because the local communities are very important to the family. That's why they try to help the school as much as possible with everything they need. Be it any support, like repainting the school walls recently.

It is important for the Zsidai family to protect the environment and their philosophy that everyone first has to take care of their own, local environment. Birthday tree planting is a tradition in the family. This will also help the Buda Castle to grow and stay green for the future generations too.

HaverVagy is one of the largest youth community in Hungary, and besides organizing various community programs charity and volunteering are the very important element of the organization. That's why we at the Zsidai Group are happy to work with them, and for the seventh time this year, we're partnering with their charity auction.
