Yad Eliezer/B'ezri fights to alleviate the effects of poverty, while enabling families to retain a sense of dignity.

​

With your support we can make a difference.

 

Yad Eliezer/B'ezri is a charitable organization whose objective is to combat poverty at its root, through an array of programs that provide critical short-term relief, while facilitating long-term recovery. Among its many initiatives aimed at combating poverty, Yad Eliezer/B'ezri subsidizes efforts to feed destitute children, families and the frail and elderly. It contributes to efforts to arrange and disseminate food vouchers to the needy which can be redeemed at local supermarkets. 

In addition, Yad Eliezer/B'ezri sponsors job training support that helps recipients complete degrees so they can work toward becoming financially independent. Additionally, Yad Eliezer/B'ezri provides cash disbursements to thousands of families for a one-time need. Whether due to a medical emergency, unexpected expense or the need to get through a difficult time, this fund alleviates their financial distress and allows them to focus on real issues. These grants often prevent a one-time crisis from forcing a family into a downward spiral of poverty from which they can never escape. The organization also provides monthly stipends to widows running single parent homes and who, despite government financial assistance, have trouble making ends meet. 

Our scrupulous management, countrywide network of volunteers and efficient means of distribution enable us to maintain limited overhead and administrative expenses, distinguishing us and putting us at the top of the Israeli charities list

Yad Eliezer Inc. is the Australian Arm of Yad Eliezer/B'Ezri, Israel's largest poverty relief agency.

Yad Eliezer began in 1980 in the kitchen of the Weisel family of Jerusalem. They prepared a food basket for a neighbour who could not feed her children, and were soon delivering monthly food baskets to hungry families.

Today Yad Eliezer encompasses 19 primary economic and social service programs that impact tens of thousands of individuals to break the cycle of poverty.
