They are crying for help — Will You Answer Them?

In Israel, over 800,000 children live in poverty. Some have been orphaned or abandoned and are homeless. In Jerusalem, over half of the city's children live below the poverty line. Tragically, these children's needs are largely left unmet due to Israel's need to increase defense spending to protect her people against terrorism and prepare for the possibility of war.

Guardians of Israel addresses these critical problems and more with programs that directly impact needy boys and girls. In addition to providing children with basic food, medicine, and clothing, Guardians funds orphanages, schools, and day care centers, so that they are given the education and support they need to grow into healthy, productive citizens.

Nothing is more heartbreaking than a child in need. These children desperately need your help. Invest in Israel's future – please give to Guardians of Israel today!
