Orphans and Malnutrition

Of all the challenges facing Jewish orphans, malnutrition is the most prevalent. Malnutrition kills a child every two seconds! This is not counting the orphans who suffer or become permanently disabled due to hunger and malnutrition’s effects. The longer a child is exposed to malnutrition, the more likely it is to cause irreparable damage or death. There is plenty of food to go around; we just need to distribute it properly.

When you donate to GIOH you make sure that orphans in Israel get a healthy diet and do not have to feel the pangs of starvation. Can you imagine going every day hungry, eating just a bit and constantly wondering when and where your next meal will come from? It is a harsh reality for many orphans in Israel and worldwide. Although it is uncomfortable to think about, doing nothing is not the right course of action.

Donate to GIOH. We will make sure an orphan has access to a hot, nurturing meal but also so much more. We provide educational opportunities, support, love, housing and friendship. Every dollar you give us is another dollar we can spend on the well being of orphans. With so many kids on the streets of Israel, we need your help!
