179 children at risk and homeless children have begun their new school year within Hamifal’s frameworks
The Children ages 4-14 were referred by the welfare authorities due to their deprived family background and their discriminatory environment in which they have lived. 20% of whom are children of new immigrants.
In this specific group there are also children who immigrated to Israel just recently from Souuth America. 12 of them immigrated from Peru and Columbia, and do not speak a Hebrew at all. Moreover their families came from the lower income sector and are experiencing a crisis
For this particular and unique group Hamifal recruited a couple (“foster parents”)that are native Spanish speaking, and the children where placed in one family unit at Neve Yehuda Children’s Village, all in order to ease their integration within our facility.
