SPONSOR AN ALMANA & HER CHILDREN THIS YEAR
The Keren Almanos - Widow & Orphan Fund
The Keren Almanos is an extremely large program, one of our biggest. Through it, we distribute monthly stipends to widows with children living at home, enabling them to provide for their families with dignity. Each widow’s situation is carefully assessed to determine the amount of money she needs to complete her monthly budget. Funds are transferred directly into her bank account, sparing her any embarrassment or inconvenience.
In addition, the Keren Almanos assists widows with one-time expenses such as urgent dental care, bar mitzvahs & weddings for their children, medical treatments, emergencies and holidays, which are markedly expensive. Single parent homes are especially struggling from residual effects of the pandemic and we are trying our best to keep up with the need.
OUR GOAL is to reach out to all struggling widows in Israel who are taking care of their children. We want them to know that they can rely on our help, which is given with respect and sensitivity.
Currently there are 840 women in this Keren and we support them and their 5600+ children with vital funds, about $800 per almana, per month! This aid makes a significant impact, stabilizing their homes stable and helping them live with self-respect.
Every donation makes a real difference and with your assistance, we can extend our reach to support additional families who are struggling.
