WIZO.uk, established in 1918, is one of 52 international Federations supporting World WIZO in Israel. The organisation is non-political and works together with the Government, assisting the most vulnerable segments of the population and citizens in distress, through WIZO's 800 social welfare and educational projects across the country. The goal of WIZO is to respond to the challenges that arise in Israeli society through every stage of life in order to secure a better society for all. Assistance is provided to all sectors of the community, from new-born babies to the elderly. WIZO enriches the lives of children and youngsters in day care centres; it provides a framework for youth in its network of youth clubs and schools. WIZO cares for victims of domestic violence and provides shelters where they receive rehabilitative care and legal assistance. This is just a small selection of the programmes that we provide within our centres. Through your generosity we are helping to meet the needs of many thousands of Israeli citizens on a daily basis. Contact us for further information on how your donation or bequest can help.

There are thousands of families in Israel today who cannot cope with daily expenses. Not luxuries! We refer to bread, eggs, rice, oil etc. Old and sick people with no heating and not able to cook meals. Babies who are fed greatly diluted formula milk to keep them quiet. Young orphaned and needy couples who can't afford to get married. Yad Eliezer provides food to over 9,000 families each month. 950 elderly people receive cooked food weekly. 1,700 babies are supplied with formula milk. Over 500 weddings are arranged each year. Our four lorries collect surplus fresh fruit and vegetables from Kibbutzim and Moshavim around Israel and distribute them every day. Mrs Weisel, our Honorary President, says; “If I had another penny, I would buy a potato for a poor family. We can't spend money we don't have.”

Is there any hope for a child who has suffered needlessly? Are children resilient enough to withstand the wrath of war, the bigotry of anti-Semitism, and the injustice of abuse? Youth Aliyah - Child Rescue has given countless children H.O.P.E. With the Happiness, Opportunity, Protection, and world-class Education that Youth Aliyah provides, these children grow up to be successful, confident individuals. Youth Aliyah was born in 1933 to rescue children from the Nazis and bring them safely to Palestine. Today, we have widened our objective to include children who have been traumatized and abandoned by their parents and countries. Endowed with understanding and empathy for others, our graduates prove to the world that violence and hatred don't stand a chance against love and H.O.P.E.

Zichron Menachem (ZM) is named in memory of Menachem Ehrental, an Israeli boy who battled cancer for over 14 years.

ZM's recreational and rehabilitative programmes and activities in hospitals, patients' homes and the ZM Day Centre in Jerusalem, as well as ZM outings and adventure camps in Israel and overseas, constitute the backbone of its support and assistance. All ZM programmes, activities and facilities are offered completely free-of-charge to all Israeli children stricken with cancer, and their families. ZMUK takes special responsibility for funding ZM's biennial summer camps held in London.
