Pitchon Lev

Pitchon Lev is an apolitical non-profit organization founded in 1998 and working to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Israel. The organization assists over 250,000 people each year regardless of sex, religion, race, origin or nationality. We in the organization maintain straightforward and direct contact with our recipients so that we can adapt immediate solutions to any problem that arises from the field. The vision for which we are working is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Israel ! In order to realize our vision, the organization operates in three main dimensions: Immediate Reach – Humanitarian Aid: In the help centers we help thousands of needy families who are sent to us with letters of reference from social workers throughout the country. Every month we distribute about 6,000 baskets of food to needy families, clothing toys and more. The Far-reaching educational project “Touching the Horizon” by Pitchon Lev: The “Lagaat Ba’Oqek” educational project from Pitchon-Lev has been operating since 2004 and is intended for young people from the geographic and social periphery who have the will and talent who need support in order to realize them. The goal of the educational project is to provide the youth with the tools they need to develop as adults who are beneficial to themselves and to society, while developing the natural resources inherent in them. Strategic Range – “Pitchon Lev” law to fight poverty: Our long experience in the field shows that only action at the national-institutional level will lead to a significant reduction in poverty in Israel. Therefore, we formulated the Pitchon Lev Law for the fight against poverty, which restores the responsibility to the government and obliges it to establish a special authority for the treatment and eradication of the problem of poverty in Israel.
