Ramat Hadassah Youth Village
SWISS PROJECT SINCE 2021
Youth Villages provide social and educational interventions that enable students to cope with integration difficulties, to break the cycle of poverty and to become contributing members of Israeli society. During their time at a Youth Village, students receive a full secondary school education, nutritional meals, a safe place to live, psychological and medical treatment and a warm, supportive environment. Youth Villages also work closely with students’ families and community support systems, with the aim of integrating the students back into their home communities.
