Introducing The Three Princes,
Three Princesses Movement
The Three Princes, Three Princesses Foundation is a widely recognized family-supporting organization in Hungary, which was established by professor Maria Kopp in 2009. The name is a reference to fairy tales, where the heroes are often third-born princes or princesses. The aim of the Foundation is to support young adults in accomplishing their dreams of having children. The organisation pays special attention to changing attitudes, to community building, to professional and scientific activities and to supporting decision makers.

The petition of the Three Princes, Three Princesses has started
In Hungarian families, less children are born than wished for. The Three Princes, Three Princesses Movement initiated collecting signatures for the birth of the children their parents wish for.
Manifesto for the children to be born
I support the idea that everyone has the right to have a family and everyone might have as many children as they want.
I support my friends, my relatives and people around me in their strive to have children and encourage them to live in a happy marriage, as well as to bring up their children in love.
Whether as a colleague or a manager, I responsibly support the families in reaching their aims, so as the parents have enough time for their children and have a well-balanced private life.
I look out for those whom I can help with words of encouragement, deeds, or even with material things.
I facilitate creating strong communities where everyone can feel that they can rely on each other.
I join the manifesto of the Three Princes, Three Princesses Foundation with pleasure to contribute to the birth of the children their parents wish for.
