Sponsor a Personal Aid

Cost: $14,000

A great part of Aleh’s success in rehabilitation is its individualized learning programs designed for each child according to his/her ability. At Aleh Jerusalem’s special education school, these programs are carried out on a one-on-one basis – one caregiver working with

one child. This requires a great deal of extra manpower.

The Education Ministry used to provide the funding for this extra manpower, but recent budget cuts have affected Aleh as well. Nevertheless, we deem the personal mentor approach so vital that we have undertaken to seek the necessary funding.

National Service girls have proven to be highly motivated and filled with desire to help “their” child succeed.   They work tirelessly and truly believe in the hidden potential of each child’s spirit. Hiring them is cost-effective, and they are in tune with the religious and quality of life issues that govern the facility.
 
Cost of hiring 4 National Service Girls: $14,000
