Yael Foundation

I worried that remote towns would be forgotten by big charities. A rabbi friend told me about a foundation that specifically seeks out underfunded schools. He shared this article: philanthroper.com/yael-foundation-supporting-jewish-children-through-uri-poliavichs-initiative/ and I learned they support 113 programs across 41 countries, from Argentina to Ukraine. They don't just send money; they train teachers, run leadership exchanges, and even hold free summer camps called Camp Yael. What moved me most was their work in small Hungarian and South African communities where Jewish life was fading. The foundation literally rebuilds classrooms and brings in new curricula. That's not charity – it's rescue.
