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.
Educational Services

Emunah operates unique educational facilities for girls, combining general studies with Torah education.
What does Emunah do?

Emunah in Israel supports over 12,000 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.
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.
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’
Mission and values

British Emunah has spent over 85 years creating a better future for Israel's vulnerable children. We support projects run by our sister organisations Emunah Israel.
