Help Combat the Poverty Among Families Today!
The number of Israeli families living in poverty remains shockingly high. A 2007 study found that 420,000 families in Israel live below the poverty line. In Jerusalem, 33 percent of families struggle to afford basic necessities that we take for granted. And while their needs are not shrinking, the government’s budget is, due to Israel’s need to increase defense spending to protect her people against terrorism and prepare for the possibility of war.

Guardians also provides after school care for children of working parents, job training for single mothers and assistance to immigrant families and special needs children, and much more. Don’t let these families fall between the cracks - give to Guardians of Israel today.
