ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION
GRANT PURPOSE
One of Israel’s most immediate needs is to provide children with a stable and supportive routine. Dror Israel is working in 30 different locations:
- In three hospitals, they set up childcare facilities in the first days of the war, allowing medical workers with children to work, while schools remain closed.
- Youth educators and volunteer youth movement counselors from the Noar Haoved youth groups are running therapeutic programs for children evacuated from the Gaza envelope, Sderot, Ofakim, Netivot, and Ashkelon. Programs are operating in Eilat, the Dead Sea, Tiberias, Tel Aviv, Mizpe Ramon, Netanya, Herzliya, Mishmar Ha’Emek, Haifa, Afula, Beit Shean, and other areas in which they have a local presence.
- Activity kits and online programming is made available for those sheltering in place in Ashkelon, Ofakim, Rehovot, and more.
