OUR STORY
Since 1999, Shaalei Tikva has been working for the welfare of disadvantaged children in cooperation with local municipalities throughout Israel. Together with a network of volunteers, composed of young, committed families who live in the most underprivileged, older neighborhoods in Israel's cities, they reach out and help the local residents. It began with a Bayit Cham ( "a warm home" ) that provided a kind, loving and safe place for children at risk in the after-school hours in Bet Shemesh; hot meals, help with homework, various programs and a nourishing environment where children at risk could grow and prosper.
Today, there is a Bayit Cham in Bet Shemesh, Or Yehuda, Katzrin, Kadima, Garin Hadar Haifa, Givat Olga and Afikei Golan, for 150 children at risk with programs and frameworks that are making a difference in the lives of entire families.
