Recipient of the Dr. Mónika Szabó Award for 2026: Hanis Kakaba Habila
Hanis Kakaba Habila, a 2024 graduate of Social Integration MA program.
He lives in Budapest and is a Lutheran Christian community leader, teacher, and social entrepreneur. His calling is to foster intercultural relations, protect human dignity, and build community. Through his work, he teaches, leads humanitarian missions, and manages his business, with the primary goal of all three activities being service and community building. His philosophy is to combine practical assistance with the promotion of intercultural understanding. Since May 2025, Hanis has served as the coordinator of the Városliget Evangelical Congregation, an English-speaking Lutheran community in Budapest. There, he organizes weekly worship services, preaches, leads the liturgy, and maintains direct contact with visiting pastors. He coordinates the congregation’s Bible study group and leads youth ministry. An important part of his work is helping foreigners living in Budapest integrate; for them, the congregation serves as a family and a community far from home.
Congratulations!
