Education & Welfare Projects

ESRA, founded in 1979 as a non-profit, is Israel's largest English-speaking community, aiding the integration of olim while working toward equality in Israeli society. ESRA aims to help diminish educational and social gaps, especially in the socio-geographic periphery, focusing on education and excellence programs and enhancing personal and social skills in a safe and supportive environment. We also integrate English-speaking immigrants into these projects, helping them feel useful and contributing members of society, thereby serving our two significant aims.

Neve ESRA

Remedial teaching and special enrichment programs are provided in an afterschool welfare center in Modiin, to 15 schoolchildren who live under difficult home conditions that affect their wellbeing.

Rationale

Children from families dependent on welfare services sometimes need to be out of home most of the day and generally lack any organized educational and social framework after school hours. The Neve ESRA Center provides the children with a warm, secure, and supportive environment where they receive a nutritious, hot meal, together with schoolwork assistance, remedial teaching, and afternoon enrichment programs.

 

Objectives

Providing learning tools and enrichment with content otherwise not generally exposed to, in a safe, supportive environment

 

Results

13 children ages 9-11 participated in the 2022-2023 project.

  • 77% of the participants are satisfied with the lessons.
  • All feel the lessons help them improve in their studies
