Your support will help create a brighter future for Ethiopian-Israelis in Hadera!
The Challenge
Hadera is the city that lies between Tel Aviv and Haifa on the west coast. This city is proud of its symphonic string orchestra and is well known for having one of the oldest wind orchestras of Israel.
The city has 88,783 inhabitants. 5,798 citizens are Ethiopian-Israeli, 1044, or 18%, of whom are school aged children.
Poverty, a lower socio-economic environment, and lack of support among the young Ethiopian-Israeli community
Like in many places in Israel, the majority of the Ethiopian-Israeli community in Hadera faces many challenges:
• Many of them live in economic hardship: this community’s economic and social deprivation, combined with the crisis of cultural transition, has a hugely negative impact on every aspect of their children’s’ lives;
• A vicious cycle has been created in which underachievement reduces their chances of improving their socio-economic status and in turn, condemns future generations of children to a life of poverty.
