Together We Stand with Israel: A Reflection of Hope and Unity

In these trying times, as Israel faces the harrowing realities, our hearts go out to everyone affected by the tragedies unfolding. The loss experienced by innocent lives is profound, and it is with heavy hearts that we extend our thoughts and prayers to those grieving.

Amidst the turmoil, Migdal Ohr, as Israel’s largest non-profit welfare organisation, remains a steadfast beacon of hope. Dedicated to supporting over 12,000 children, our mission to assist the vulnerable has never been more critical. This spring, amidst adversity, we've seen incredible joy, empowerment, and unity fueled by your incredible support.

Your kindness during our Purim "Sponsor a Child" campaign illuminated the lives of our children, transforming sorrow into joy with vibrant costumes and Mishloach Manot. Your contributions created unforgettable moments of happiness for our precious children, and for this, they are deeply grateful. They wanted me to share this short video to express their thanks.

The insights shared by Rachel Riley and Amy Anzel at our "Breakfast for Israel Advocacy" underscored the vital nature of our advocacy efforts. On International Women's Day, we honoured the resilience and spirit of women, celebrating the empowered young women at Migdal Ohr's Afikei Ohr Girls’ Village.

March also showcased the power of compassion through the colourful festivities at Machshava School's Colour Day and the heartfelt gestures by members of the Ohr Yisraeli Youth Club. The Purim Carnival at Zoharim Youth Village and the joyous celebrations at Orot Bemek School reminded us of the strength found in the community.

As we navigate these challenging times, your continued support is vital to our mission. Our commitment to the children of Migdal Ohr is our top priority, and we aim to continue providing the nurturing environment they need to flourish. We can ensure that every child in our care feels loved, valued, and equipped with the tools they need to succeed.

Without YOU we cannot continue to provide a warm, loving home to thousands of children, you can make a real difference now:
