For over 20 years, Yad Elie has been feeding Jerusalem’s children.
With your help, we will continue for as long as it takes.
We provide daily meals to schoolchildren in East and West Jerusalem. To date, we have served more than two million meals. Now we must ensure we can serve the next two million.
Nearly one in three children in Jerusalem — over 100,000 boys and girls — lives with food insecurity. That means every third child cannot be sure their next meal will be there when they’re hungry.
Hunger during the school day is more than an empty stomach. It affects concentration, confidence, and dignity. It limits potential.
Schools are often the first place where hunger becomes visible — and the first place where it can be addressed. School breakfast, lunch, and snack programs are directly linked to:
- Higher attendance
- Better academic performance
- Improved behavior
- Stronger long-term educational outcomes
When children are fed, they can learn.
It’s that simple — and that powerful.
Set a personal example for Jerusalem’s children.
Donate — because no child should go hungry.
Donate — because a child is a child is a child.
Donate — because education is the foundation on which we build our future.
