Save the children: Mentoring Project
In 1999, a widow who received regular monthly support of food baskets from the organization, asked to exchange the baskets with a mentor who would study with her sons.
"It's much more important to me than food in the refrigerator"
Since then it’s all history!
What started as a phenomenon of children who have no one to study with, or who do not have an suitable response at home, has become a distress in the last generation that threatens the spiritual future of tens of thousands of youth. They come from various backgrounds and are moving away from Torah every day, leaving behind a pained and helpless family.
Yad Eliezer's mentors' project provides a solution to this tragedy. The person who saves the child, and the entire family, is a mentor attached to the child who valiantly deals with all his needs. He provides him with emotional support, academic assistance, an attentive ear, and paves the way for success on all levels.
Since then, 38,179 mentors have participated in the project, for 43,823 students, in dozens of cities in Israel. We can present another amazing figure of over 5,345,291 hours of study and accompaniment!
Every hour is lifesaving.
Recently, the demand for dedicated tutors has risen, and to our regret there is no solution due to the economic distress that the organization is in. Moreover, the organization will be forced to reduce existing activity until the necessary amount is reached to cover its debts and get back on its feet.
To do this, we need you urgently, so that we can cover the debts that have accumulated, and so that we can continue our activities to save the spiritual future of Jewish children. In order for the project activities to go on, and to handle the long waiting lists, to grow and influence as much as possible, we must fundraise for them. The costs are high, and the organization has no available funding sources. It depends only on us!
In your donation of any amount, on the day of the campaign, you take part in the tremendous Yad Eliezer project and save the spiritual future of Klal Yisroel.
We got a special opportunity and we have to take advantage of it!
Every shekel = 3!
Every shekel can change the lives of young men and women who just want us to help them.
