Caring for Orphans: Many children find themselves in terrifying situations of being removed from their homes following severe abuse and neglect. These children need professional help, a loving home environment, and an opportunity for a better future. With the support of good people coming alongside to help them in their time of need, they have a fighting chance of becoming healthy, contributing members of Israeli society. Without it, their future is bleak.

ICEJ Canada cares for and supports these children in family group homes throughout Israel by providing food and trauma aid packages, educational supplies, clothing, personal hygiene products, basic equipment for everyday needs and extracurricular activities, etc. These children are classified as orphans, either having one or no living parent and coming from all types of traumatic situations; including parental suicide and parental death from illness or from murder. The children arrive distressed and alone. While the Ministry of Welfare provides partial funding, they only cover approximately 12% of these expenses. We need the help of generous donors.
