Resilience & Rebuilding
Resilience (Hebrew: hosen) is at the heart of Israeli life. For 50 years, JNF Canada has supported resilience building to create stronger, healthier communities, particularly in Israel's South. Rocket shelters and protected classrooms provide critical physical safety and security for every Israeli - they have between 15-60 seconds to reach a shelter when under attack. Centres for diverse therapies and treatments, from PTSD treatment, animal therapy, family support, and youth services, provide important mental support and wellbeing.

Healthcare
Access to healthcare is integral to health community and is especially challenging for periphery communities far from major cities. We fund life-saving healthcare facilities that provide services like heart surgery for children, trauma & PTSD therapy, cancer treatment, and drug and addiction recovery.

PROJECTS
Youth-At-Risk
Many of our projects ultimately serve youth at risk, who come from underserved communities, whose parents may struggle with meeting their own needs, and who have a higher chance of ending up in dangerous or criminal activities. By providing these youth with attention, extra support, inspiring mentors and facilities to socialize, we can disrupt recurring cycles of poverty and help these kids achieve their fullest potential.
