Building Biniamin’s Confidence

Youth in School
City: Netanya

"SPACE encourages me to go after the things I want."

Meet Biniamin, 17 from Netanya. He and his family made Aliyah from Ethiopia when he was only five years old. He remembers very little of his native Ethiopia. 

Biniamin is one of five children, and his parents were often too busy to help him with his schoolwork. He particularly struggled with math, until he got the extra help he needed from ENP’s SPACE program.

Thanks to the program, Biniamin’s grades have drastically improved, along with his confidence and hopes for the future.

Biniamin is now a counselor for the B’nai Akiva youth movement, and plans to head to the army and then university, where he expects to excel in everything he does.

With his newfound confidence, Biniamin wants to inspire other children to take part in the program and invest in a bright future.
