About
Wizo USA funds welfare institutions in Israel including: a. Eleven day care centers that serve children whose parents must work long hours and depend on Wizo to provide excellent care. Wizo day care centers provide a safe haven where every child's emotional and developmental needs are met. b. Two schools and youth villages, including seven dormitories to house at-risk youth. Funds for the youth villages and dormitories enable all children access to academic and vocational programming. Wizo youth villages ensure every student has tools to excel and compete in a complex global environment. The villages help students realize their academic and social potential and provide opportunities that would otherwise be unavailable. c. Two shelters for women and their children that provide a secret and safe residence for families escaping domestic violence. Women living in Wizo shelters are offered vocational training, therapies, and skill building workshops to prepare them for independent living. d. A center for the prevention of violence in the family. The center serves to prevent the cycle of violence in the family through intervention and ongoing therapeutic support.
