We support communities across the globe to create a better life both now and for future generations.
We help invigorate communities, giving people a sense of pride and purpose to their lives. Our ‘Operation Our Town’ projects have helped to create Jewish Community Centres – a hub for Jewish life ensuring Jewish traditions are continued through generations and empowering local communities. For those living in dire situations, we provide food, housing and welfare. We provide retraining for communities facing large scale unemployment, thus providing people with the resources to earn a living and pull themselves out of poverty.
Our non-sectarian community programmes provide much needed support across the globe. From grants for small business to schools and medical projects we help where help is most needed.
