Who and What Are British Emunah

British Emunah help to create a better everyday life and future for Israel’s most vulnerable and at-risk children and families.

Day Care

Emunah Day Care Centres are an important part of everyday life for many Israeli families, some of whom are unable to care for their children throughout the day, perhaps due to illness or drug addiction.
Donate

Your donation can make a huge difference to someone's life.
Educational Services

Emunah operates unique educational facilities for girls, combining general studies with Torah education.
Who we are

British Emunah is a UK registered charity which relies entirely on donations to support 37 Emunah projects in Israel. Set up in 1933 by a group of British women who wanted to provide practical help for children escaping Nazi persecution, today Emunah has developed services to meet the very different problems faced by the thousands of Israeli children who are ‘at risk’
Family Support

Emunah’s Family Support Centres provide therapeutic support to help families so that children are not taken ‘into care’. Working with expert social workers and counsellors, parents are shown the most basic of parenting skills and the children are cared for by trained Emunah staff.
Visit a centre

If you are travelling to Israel and would like to see for yourself the magnificent work that Emunah does, then you are more than welcome to visit one of our 37 centres.
Residential Care

British Emunah supports three residential homes, providing shelter for boys and girls from infancy to 18 years old, because their parents lack the capability to raise them.
What does Emunah do?

Emunah in Israel supports over 10,000 children on a daily basis by providing residential homes, high schools, day care and family support centres as well as trauma therapy and counselling centres. Emunah is one of the primary social welfare organisations in Israel and in 2008 was awarded the prestigious ‘Israel Prize’ for lifetime achievement and exceptional contribution to the nation.
Share your Simcha

Whatever the occasion for example birthday, anniversary or retirement, invite your family and friends to give a donation to Emunah, a gift that truly does make a difference.
Gala Dinner - Everyone Has a Story

Chief Rabbi Mirvis praised Emunah’s “outstanding work” and said the charity “leads by example… Through your noble endeavours, many thousands of people will continue to have their lives re-shaped so that they too will have a great story to tell.”
