The State of Israel has a rich diversity in its citizens. Jews form all four corners of the globe have made Israel their home. Assistance is needed for weaker segments of the population and citizens in distress. This necessity was manifested even prior to the establishment of the State in 1948 and has been adapted according to the prevailing conditions in the country. Even today, tens of thousands of citizens are in need of assistance and support to cope with their daily survival and predicaments - and it is here that WIZO enters the picture.
WIZO provides assistance to all sectors of the community. From newborn babies to the elderly, WIZO provides a safe haven of comfort. WIZO enriches the lives of children and youth in day care centres and schools. It provides a great framework for youth in it's network of youth clubs and one on one assistance for teenage girls in distress and victims of domestic violence who obtain psychological counselling, rehabilitative care and legal assistance. WIZO is committed to the empowerment of women and operates services and a guidance system to facilitate this.
