BUDAPEST, HUNGARY (BosNewsLife) – Hungarian President János Áder and Anita Herczegh, the First Lady, have launched a foundation to help children orphaned by the coronavirus.
It comes as Hungary is now among the countries with the most reported COVID-19 deaths per capita, approaching 26,000 on a population of nearly 10-million.
The foundation is named after István Regőczi, a Catholic priest who cared for orphaned children throughout his life, including in the troubled interwar period.
President Áder said donations can be accepted once the foundation is fully legally established, adding that he and his wife donated 5 million forints (almost $17,000) of their own savings to get the foundation up and running.
