About us

Since 2016, working so that our world is one!

One World Foundation is made up of families whose children live with profound and multiple disabilities and, because of their condition, need continuous care throughout their lives.

The foundation is a close community of families where we work voluntarily for ourselves and for one another.

We lovingly call our children kacifántos.

It began when Zsófi was born — very kacifántos.

The heart of the foundation — the first kacifántos

Nóri leads the foundation; its work is carried out primarily by commissioned professionals and by the parents themselves. We engage dedicated specialists for every programme. Through the “We help at home” project we employ 15 caregivers. Volunteers make our work complete — especially at running events and fundraising stands.

What people say

Marica Tárnok

I've followed the Foundation from the very beginning. Seeing how far they've come, and what a close, persistent team they've become, is a hope-giving example. We badly need examples like this.

Nóri and her team bring the „kacifántos” children and their parents closer to every layer of society with wonderful, inspiring ideas, special programs and community communication. Our world is one — we need them, and a smile is the answer to a smile.

I came as a music therapist wanting to give an experience through music — and left each session at least as enriched myself. The parents' devotion is deeply moving, and the children's humour and full presence teach me what really matters.

I came to the summer camps as a helper and left richer as a person. These children teach love and acceptance without words. This foundation works heart and soul so that joy and dignity are natural for these children.

One World Foundation is, for me, a place of real acceptance and unselfconscious joy. When I play the flute for them, differences don't matter — only the shining eyes and heartfelt laughter.
