Abstract: The purpose of this article is to introduce the Hungary Helps Programme, a stated purpose of which is to support Christian communities in the Global South. Data and findings indicate that Hungary has provided direct assistance to local Christian churches, communities and faith-based organisations by financing more than 160 projects with a total value of almost €53 million since 2016. The programme, which may be considered an element of the ‘Hungarian model’, mainly benefits local churches. The HHP serves to strengthen Hungary’s autonomous role within the EU, amongst other things, by providing direct financial support to Christian churches.
