Israeli Orphans
July 14, 2016
Donations are the lifeblood of our orphanage. The money people kindly give so us goes to providing orphans in Israel with food, medicine, education and housing. There is a large gap however, between the resources available and the number of needy children. Your contribution can help bridge that gap. Taking on an orphan is a huge financial responsibility. Think of how expensive raising a child can be; now think about an orphanage that houses 50+ children. What is so sad is the volume of children that cannot access services simply because of financial limitations. It is unfair that even one child should go hungry and wanting let alone the untold thousands that currently do. Although the cost of caring for Israel’s orphans is high, the cost of not caring for them is even higher. The increase in crime, strain on the public health system, and other social ills caused by child neglect cost society an incalculable sum.

Many people who give to larger charities don’t know that a good portion of every dollar they give goes to paying the charities overhead cost, not directly to helping people.

The money you donate goes directly to the day-to-day operation of our home and to helping Jewish orphans.

We are able to do the work we do because of our large and loyal donor network. Offering the quality of care that we do here at GIOH is no easy task and it certainly doesn’t come cheap. Next time you are making a charitable gift think of where it will have the most impact. Not only does the money given to GIOH get spent prudently it truly offers life changing services to countless orphans. The money you give pays for medical attention, education, housing and so much more. You can take comfort in knowing half your donation doesn’t get spent on nebulous administrative […]
