WJR is dedicated to fighting human suffering and serving the urgent needs of primarily, but not exclusively, Jewish communities who are at risk or in crisis around the world.
The ‘Dream Room’ in Kharkov is a facility that provides children with disabilities a sensory room with all the necessary equipment to enable them to learn and play.
A major WJR-funded project provides home repairs for older people and single-parent families with poor living conditions in Zaporozhye, Lvov and Kiev in Ukraine and Kishinev in Moldova.
This programme aims to make the lives of older people and those with disabilities easier with the free transport system the project aims to put in place throughout Ukraine.
This project in Moldova gives children and teens with disabilities a space where they can socialise with one other and with other people their age whilst learning vocational skills.
Savyon Lodge is a home for older Jewish people in Bulawayo, housing 14 individuals with an average age of 86. Residents have their own private rooms, receive three meals a day and care is provided by trained nurses and carers.
