Who you will help

Over 700 rocket and mortar attacks fall in the city of Sderot every year, which has a devastating effect on the residents who live there - 80% of children living in Sderot suffer from PTSD. The Resilience Center provides much needed support for these children and their families, offering therapy and emotional support, a 24/7 hotline, courses for parents to deal with child anxiety, emergency services and more. The Resilience Centre is currently lacking important infrastructure to support the children and families - suffering from the trauma of repeated attacks - who rely on it. JNF Canada has begun work with the municipality to construct a new Trauma Resilience Center by adding a protective bomb shelter, expanding existing facilities and making the center accessible for those with disabilities. The new center will have 8 therapeutic rooms, providing 50,000 hours of treatments per year - 140 hours per day! This expansion will double the number of patients treated daily.
