Room to Heal - Help us rebuild the Glickman Centre
Healing begins in a safe and dignified space.
For women and children escaping violence, a bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is the first place where fear can ease, privacy is restored, and healing can begin.
Through the Room to Heal campaign, Na’amat Canada is rebuilding 12 bedrooms at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention in Tel Aviv — the first women’s shelter established in Israel.
This is a project Canada helped build. Now, we proudly rebuild it.
Our goal is to raise $140,000 to ensure that every room reflects safety, dignity, and care from the moment a family walks through the door.
We are honoured to announce the
Benny Freedman z”l Match For Hope
Through Holocaust survivor Benny Freedman's Legacy, we have received a generous gift of $70,000 to match every dollar raised toward our $140,000 goal.
The need is urgent.
The impact is immediate.
For more than 30 years the Glickman Centre has provided shelter, counselling, legal support, and rehabilitation programs for women and children experiencing abuse.
The bedrooms are central to this mission.
We stand with Israel- When crisis calls we answer!
Emergency Relief - We Stand with Israel
Moved by urgency and unity, Na’amat Canada is launching its Emergency Relief Campaign under the banner: When crisis calls, we answer.
Your generosity brings safety, care, and hope to families who need us most.
Am Yisrael Chai.
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.
