Partner with Neve Hanna Children’s Home. Kids Helping Kids.
Many religious schools, synagogues, sisterhoods, and men’s clubs encourage participation in Tikkun Olam (repairing the world) and Tzedakah (charity and social justice) projects as part of their educational programming.
Partnering with Neve Hanna Children’s Home reflects these enduring Jewish values by connecting individuals and communities with the children of Israel through meaningful acts of compassion, generosity, and service. Together, we can strengthen our global Jewish community while making a lasting difference in the lives of children at risk.
We invite you to consider partnering with American Friends of Neve Hanna and Neve Hanna Children’s Home in Kiryat Gat, Israel, for your next Mitzvah Project, synagogue initiative, religious school program, or community service opportunity.
What is the Neve Hanna Children’s Home?
Since 1974, Neve Hanna Children’s Home in Kiryat Gat, Israel, has provided a loving and nurturing home for children from distressed and dysfunctional family circumstances. The children come from diverse backgrounds, including Russian, Ethiopian, and Middle Eastern immigrant families, as well as native-born Israelis.
Many of these children have experienced poverty, abuse, parental neglect, mental illness, and drug or alcohol addiction within the home. At Neve Hanna, their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs are addressed within a caring and therapeutic environment.
Affiliated with the Masorti Movement as a Kehillah — the only one of its kind in Israel — Neve Hanna provides individual therapy, remedial instruction, and extensive enrichment and recreational programs that help children heal, grow, and thrive.
Therapeutic Programs: Supporting Children Every Day
Neve Hanna Children’s Home works to meet the physical, emotional, educational, and developmental needs of each child through a wide range of individualized therapeutic programs, projects, and extracurricular activities.
These programs are designed to strengthen each child’s self-worth while fostering creativity, joy, confidence, and a sense of play and possibility.
