Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our page.
After visiting 3 of Youth Aliyah’s 5 villages and meeting many of their wonderful children we’ve seen how Youth Aliyah is changing the trajectory of lives every day. So please donate what you can and help us help them!
For over 88 years Youth Aliyah Child Rescue has been supporting at risk children in Israel who do not have family who can safely raise them.
In Israel today, there are over 400,000 children who do not have a family that can care for them adequately and who are deemed ‘at risk’.
Rather than seeing them condemned to a lifetime of welfare dependency, perpetuating cycles of abuse and neglect, Youth Aliyah Child Rescue offers a ladder of opportunity to Israel’s most vulnerable children – including immigrants and children of immigrants from Ethiopia, the former Soviet Union and elsewhere in the world.
Each rung of this ladder is a step up from a life of poverty, neglect and violence – climbing towards a positive and successful future where they become contributing members of Israeli society, living happy and fulfilling lives.
By providing a warm and supportive home in one of our five youth villages, children from as young as 5 years old can live together in safety. Through an individualised therapeutic approach, we find the key to unlock each child’s potential, allowing them to heal from their traumatic pasts and to break the cycle of poverty and neglect.
Our pioneering educational methodology, which we call the ‘Village Way’, has empowered thousands of young people to live the lives they truly deserve. Graduates of our youth villages experience higher than average employment rates, army leadership roles and matriculation rates.
