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.
Aviva and Otzma Chapters
Na’amat Canada Ottawa has two chapters — the Aviva Chapter of women in their 60s and beyond, and the Otzma Chapter with women in their 40s and beyond. They meet throughout the year for a variety of interesting programs and activities. Both of these chapters welcome new members and would love to have you join.
What We Do
Mother's Day Cards and Donation Cards
Every year we celebrate Mother's Day by selling cards to either honour or remember our loved ones. Whether you send a card to a mother, a grandmother, a friend, or to someone you lost touch with — it will bring a smile to their face and they will appreciate that your generosity will help a mother in Israel who is struggling to bring up her children. Both Mother's Day cards and donation cards are very successful fundraising projects.
School Supplies for Kids
Many children in the Ottawa area, whose families have been affected by violence and have fled to domestic violence shelters, could be returning to school this fall with few or no resources to buy school supplies. Na'amat Canada has stepped up to fill this need with our School Supplies for Kids project. Danielle Schneiderman is the program's chair for Ottawa. The Ottawa Community Foundation (OCF) and the Harry P. Ward Foundation have provided us with grants, and we prepared and delivered to eight Ottawa shelters and Ottawa's Jewish Family Services a gift of new backpacks filled with the tools children need to enter school.
Na’amat Canada Ottawa Jewish Calendar
Our most recent initiative is our Na’amat Canada Ottawa Jewish Calendar. Each calendar covers 16 months to include the secular and Jewish calendars. Thank you for your incredible generosity and support of our new initiative! We embarked on this journey with excitement, but as it grew closer to reality, we also felt a hint of anxiety: would it be embraced? Would it truly make a difference?
Thanks to your generous donations, we received a resounding "Yes" to these questions. Your contributions have turned our vision into a resounding success. We are pleased with the product.
Sponsorships are always welcome. To become a sponsor and to have an ad in the book please email ncottawa@naamat.com.
