Since it was founded, the work of AMEN - The Land Where Women Heal – was guided by a unique vision toward creating a village of women’s learning and healing. A place where women live, learn, create and celebrate – along with a holistic caregiving response, safe and sensitive, for victims of sexual assault.

​During 2018, with your support, we led a groundbreaking campaign, in which we brought the acute need for a suitable place for women in crisis, coping with CPTSD, to the public agenda. Thanks to this campaign, we managed to open our pilot pruject in Tivon, the litthle AMEN: a raft in the midst of storming seas that managed to perform even at the hight of COVID crisis.

Thanks to your support and trust, we saved lives, sustained courageous spaces, and accompanied dozens of women on a journey of healing, reconnecting with themselves. Alongside the healing community, we operated the school of Gynecosophy (the holistic wisdom of the woman) and trained many classes of women who escort and support women and girls across the country through life events in a feminist and holistic approach.

Then, the day after October 7th, we arrived at the communities evacuated from the south. For many months, AMEN teams provided holistic, trauma-informed care on a large scale, both at the Dead Sea and in Eilat.

Ohela and all those who have supported us, have ample reasons to feel satisfaction over what we have achieved in the midst of a reality that never ceases to challenge and disrupt our plans.

After almost seven years of hard work, the pilot phase of AMEN in Tivon came to its conclusion, and now we are preparing ourselves for the next stage.

We have dedicated the past year to a profound process of learning and drawing conclusions. We are driven by a deep commitment to fully accomplish the dream, and to build a foundation for a long-term, healthy continuity.

Therefore, in 2025, a dedicated and committed team, accompanied by an organizational consultant and external advisors, has entered a process of deep exploration, learning and reconstruction, toward realizing the full village - the big AMEN.
 

At his point, we are:

• Composing the organization’s handbook – a document stating the vision, goals, principles and procedures.

• Establishing a council of wisdom – a circle of leadership that will help direct the realization of AMEN’s vision.

• Developing a thorough training program for future staff

• Constructing a phased program for providing care - professional, sustainable and accessible to many women.

• Formulating a multi-year plan for the organization and its several parts, with a focus on locating the land on which we will make the dream come true.

 This phase will enable us:

• To support many more women - in a profound, safe, and empowering way.

• To sustain healthy and committed staff over time.

• To realize the vision - ripe, realistic and firmly planted.​

• To move closer towards the building of the big Amen Village.

What do we ask of you at this point?

To remain with us, staying the path together

For this phase of reconstruction is quiet, internal and not always visible, yet it is substantive and essential.

Especially now, when the seeds are being planted anew, evry seed of trust and support, will ensure future growth.
