The Jerusalem Hills Children's Home

The Jerusalem Hills Therapeutic Centers (JHTC) is a unique institution, providing therapeutic treatment and special education to approximately 100 at-risk boys and girls, between the ages of 6 and 15. The children in our care come from all over Israel and from all different sectors of society. On the outside, they may seem like your average child or teen, but inside they suffer from trauma-induced turmoil as a result of their unstable, sometimes dangerous, upbringings. Sadly, the homes they grew up in were filled with neglect, abuse (sexual, physical, and/or emotional), shame, and pain, and they come to our Children’s Home with scars that would deny them of a normal, happy life without the necessary intervention. Our mission at the Jerusalem Hills is to rehabilitate these children and their families and give them the tools to create a brighter future for themselves and our society at large. Since its establishment in 1943, thousands of graduates have passed through the gates of the JHTC and most have been mainstreamed and today live as productive members of Israeli society. Our close to 70% success rate is due to our unique holistic treatment plan that gives children the time and level of care they need to heal. To continue providing the best care possible for our children, and to give them hope for a bright and independent future, we rely on the support of your generous donations. *The donation is recognized for tax purposes according to section 46 of the Income Tax Ordinance
