Helping children

Nothing is more heartbreaking than the plight of a child in need. In Israel, many orphaned, abandoned, and abused children live in orphanages where government funding is not sufficient to provide them with adequate care.

Guardians of Israel addresses this critical problem through the generous contributions of its donors for children's homes in Israel such as Beit Ulpana and Letzion Berina. Here, children's basic needs of housing, food, and clothing are met, and they are given the education and supportive environment they need to become full, productive citizens of Israel.

Through their gifts to Guardians of Israel, Fellowship supporters are not only helping children in need - they are securing the future of the Jewish State!
