Amit, 17, is coping alone with a difficult family situation. He is now attending his third boarding school and feels he has no chance of success whatsoever. Lior, only 13, has been on the street for a few weeks now, not attending any kind of formal program and totally lacking a guiding hand. He too doubts his ability to accomplish anything worthwhile.
For over 30 years, Beit Haggai Youth Village has taken on a challenging national, educational and social mission, opening its gates and its heart to disadvantaged youth, believing that every youngster deserves an opportunity for success, love and support.
The village operates according to a unique Family Model: Specially-trained couples with children each take in about ten youngsters aged 13-18, living under one roof as a family in a spacious home. This method imparts a home-like, family atmosphere, even among youngsters who have never experienced it before.
Hundreds of young men have attended Beit Haggai Youth Village since its establishment and continue to live meaningful lives, performing significant military service and advancing towards a promising future, in which they will raise marvelous families and play an active role in Israeli society.
We progress slowly but consistently: One young man, then another; one family, then another.
Thousands of small steps lead to a big change.
Thousands of small actions taken in the present will affect the future.
We feel it is most important that these youngsters benefit to the fullest from the home atmosphere we provide. Those who have never experienced stability and security in their lives will finally be able to acquire a sense of permanence, strength and protection.
We want their family homes to be permanent buildings rather than temporary structures.
Now, you can help them!
At present, we are building a new, permanent family home building. For the next 48 hours only, we will match every shekel/dollar donated. We need your help to transform our vision into reality. Take this opportunity to exert a positive influence on the lives of these young men.
Your donation will help them feel that they too deserve to live in an real home with an authentic family atmosphere.
