Who We Are
Our Mission
Measurably improve the health of marginalized people living in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories via community-based intervention.
Our Vision
We aim to improve the capacity and the effectiveness of the community groups that we fund. Long term, we hope for the day that some of the leaders of the groups we have funded might be tomorrow’s political leaders.
