Rooted in Judaism’s ethic of communal responsibility for charity and chesed, Lema’an Achai empowers, rather than entitles. By providing the less fortunate with the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty, we guide them through, then out of their crisis. Our unique approach of Smart Chesed facilitates growth leading towards self-sufficiency. Lema'an Achai envisions making a significant dent in poverty in Israel. We endeavor to help people restore their economic independence. Our vision is realized through professional programming designed and implemented to restore hope, resolve problems, build confidence, identify strengths, sharpen skills, and direct clients to gainful enterprise.
