It's Time for New Kitchens - Supporting Daycare Centres across Israel
Before a child sets foot in the centre...
A lot has already happened.
The rooms are being prepared. Supplies are being organized. Staff are getting ready to welcome another busy day of learning, play and care.
And in the kitchen, preparations for the day’s meals are already underway.
Long before lunchtime, there is planning, preparation, cooking and organizing to make sure children have nutritious food ready for them as part of their day.
It is part of the daycare experience that families may rarely see, but it touches every child.
The kitchen is part of the care.
A well-equipped kitchen helps staff prepare and serve meals safely and efficiently. It supports the daily rhythm of the Centre and helps ensure children receive the nourishment they need to learn, play, grow and thrive.
But many of these kitchens have been serving their communities for years and now need to be modernized, and that’s where we step in.
Na’amat Canada is helping renovate and equip kitchens in Na’amat Daycare Centres across Israel, modernizing these spaces so they can continue supporting children and staff for years to come. Because a good day starts before the doors even open.
Your contribution will help provide updated equipment and improved kitchen spaces where thousands of everyday moments begin.
ABOUT US
Since the 1920s, Na'amat has been at the forefront of championing equality, empowering women to work side by side with men, and uplifting families and communities. Originally known as Pioneer Women, our members were in the fields, factories, and communal kitchens—building a better future for women in Israel, even before the state was founded.
Golda Meir, one of our earliest leaders, embodied the courage and vision that continues to inspire Na'amat today. The name Na'amat—an acronym in Hebrew for the Movement of Working Women and Volunteers—reflects our enduring mission to create positive change.
As the largest women’s movement in Israel, Na'amat sets the standard for advancing human rights and social equality. Na’amat Canada’s impact extends beyond Israel, with projects in Canada designed to help women and children. We are part of a sisterhood with eight other countries that share the common Na’amat vision. Join us in building a world where equality, opportunity, and harmony flourish.
OUR WORK
Empowering Children
Daycares | Rhodie Centre | Kanot | Ayanot | Technological High Schools
Infants, toddlers, and teens benefit from the educational services that we support. Children suffering from psychosocial issues, from violence in the family or simply unable to succeed in the regular school system thrive in our special settings.
Empowering Women
Glickman Centre | Legal Bureaus | Women’s Rights | Scholarships
As champions for women, Na’amat is at the forefront of helping women in need by providing refuge from abusive relationships, a hotline for emergency services, legal aid, and university scholarships.
In Canada
School Supplies for Kids | Toiletries | Bursaries | Community Connections
Our signature project in Canada is School Supplies for Kids. Since the program's inception in 1998, Na'amat Canada members in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto have worked tirelessly each year to ensure that thousands of children in domestic violence shelters have the supplies they need to succeed in school.
