First Teenage Girls’ Crisis Center Opens in Israel
The Crisis Center is located at the Neve Michael Children’s Village in Pardes Hana, and operated under the auspices of Emunah, the National Religious Women’s Organization. The Village contains the only multidisciplinary children’s home in Israel, which provides refuge and a caring home for over 250 children and youth at risk. It has a 24-hour Emergency Crisis Center and an Elementary School on the premises, Day Care facilities that also serve disadvantaged children in the area, a Therapy Enrichment Center tailored to meet the individual needs of the children, and an External Crisis Center and Therapy Counseling Unit which seek to keep families in crisis intact.
IFCJ has provided this gift through The Fellowship’s Guardians of Israel program, which provides food, clothing, shelter, housing, and other urgent needs for all Israelis, including children and the elderly, who are suffering from the effects of poverty, terrorism, and war.
