The Challenge

The road to success in Israel for Ethiopian migrants is long, traumatic, and often characterized by tragedy and loss. Upon their arrival in Israel, Ethiopians encounter incredible culture shock as they struggle to transition from an agrarian way of living to a modern, industrialized Israel. Most Ethiopian adults living in Israel today possess limited understanding of basic Hebrew, a language barrier that continues to be the biggest threat to the successful social integration of many Ethiopian-Israelis.

ENP's Response

ENP’s Parent Workshops program provides parents with the skills and information necessary to play active roles in their children’s education journeys. The program provides parents with information about their children’s individual academic needs and goals, allowing them to step in when intervention is required. Parent Workshops also informs guardians of their rights and obligations within the educational system, effectively reinforcing parents’ roles as educators and protectors of their children and unique culture.
