DAYCARE CENTRES
Na’amat operates well over one hundred daycare centres throughout the country and cares for thousands of infants and toddlers from ages 3 months to 3 years.
Rhodie Blanshay Benaroch Children's Centre
Rhodie Blanshay Benaroch z”l was a dynamic third-generation Na'amat member who made a personal commitment to building a safe and loving environment for the children who needed it most. While she is no longer with us, Rhodie was the catalyst behind this groundbreaking project that Na'amat Canada has now built, in her memory.
Technological High Schools
Na’amat runs several technological high schools. Each year, these schools give thousands of students, who were not able to succeed in the regular education system, a second chance.
Youth villages
Na’amat runs two youth villages (boarding schools) – in the rural towns of Ayanot and Kanot. Together the schools serve a diverse population of over 1,000 students, many of whom come from underprivileged families.
Kanot expansion project
Today, there are 700 students at Kanot, 350 of whom are middle school students, ages 12-15. More than half of the middle school students live in the school dormitories with full room and board.
Domestic violence shelter & counselling services
Over 200,000 battered women and half a million children in Israel are exposed to domestic violence each year. The Na’amat Centre for the Prevention of Violence in the Family in Tel Aviv (the Glickman Centre) has aided thousands of these victims.
Scholarships
Each year, Na'amat awards 200 university scholarships to academically gifted Israeli women, giving them the chance to attend university or facilitating the completion of their Bachelors or Masters degrees.
Abba project
The Abba Project (“abba” means “father” in Hebrew) is an initiative at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention, in Tel Aviv. It was established in 2020 due to a growing need to create discourse and provide unique responses for fathers struggling with the challenges of raising their children.
Legal aid clinics and women's rights centre
In locations throughout the country, Na’amat’s Legal Department has offices staffed with lawyers who provide advice and help to women. Professionals offer help in personal issues such as domestic abuse and violence, employment discrimination, sexual harassment and illegal termination during pregnancy.
