The American Friends of Neve Hanna is the non-profit children’s organization for Neve Hanna Children’s Home in Kiryat Gat, Israel. From its beginnings in 1974, Neve Hanna has provided a warm and loving home for children from disadvantaged families. With its successful therapeutic programs and projects, Neve Hanna Children’s Home strives to meet all the physical, emotional, mental and educational needs of its children. The dual mission of Neve Hanna has been to offer our children a home and family environment where all their physical, emotional and education needs are met, while at the same time helping them to become independent, responsible and conscientious adults. Neve Hanna offers our children a variety of activities, enrichment projects and therapeutic programs which provide our children the necessary resources to help them become fully contributing members of society.
