HUNGARY - Dencsháza is a village of 650 residents in the southern part of Hungary. In 2009 its school and children’s center (tanoda) was opened through the collaboration of the Reformed Church of Hungary Mission Centre, the village primary school and Reformed congregation, and the local government. The residents of Dencsháza have multiple disadvantages. Twenty-five percent of adults are active but unemployed, and 30 percent of the population declare themselves as Roma.
The school program supports Roma students aged 10–16 who live in and near Dencsháza. It offers after-school care and tutoring for children with learning difficulties. The school helps students gain healthy self-esteem and develop problem-solving skills.
