Offering an Emotional and MaterialLifeline in Israel

The growing prospect of a wider war has driven more and more Israelis to seek help coping with their fears and trauma. Project Kesher Israel (PKI) is responding to an increasing number of urgent calls from women in its network, employing the assistance of clinical psychologist Ella Berchansky who is providing much-needed emotional support in recent immigrants’ native languages.

Project Kesher is also seeing an uptick in gender-based violence within its network, an issue that often becomes more prominent in times of conflict. The organization is actively helping these women with gift cards and vouchers, giving them a financial lifeline to help escape their current situations. Team members are also accompanying individuals to various appointments as they seek to create more hopeful lives for themselves and their families.
