Afkim’s vision is that of a normalized Israeli society, where children from social and geographic peripheries have equal opportunities to succeed and advance in life, through education and hard-work.
Afikim works to change the economic and social reality in Israel, where families in socioeconomic peripheries have a lower chance of breaking out of the cycle of poverty into economic independence.
We believe that the key to economic independence and integration is first and foremost through education. Our first graduates have completed their army service and are venturing out to academic institutions, proving that this vision is becoming a reality!
Love, joy & happiness – these are the gifts the children receive at the Afikim center. Not to mention – attention, kindness, a comforting atmosphere, academic help and, of course, a warm meal.
