About Pitchon Lev - פתחון לב

Pitchon Lev is an apolitical non-profit organization founded in 1998 and working to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Israel. The organization assists over 250,000 people each year regardless of sex, religion, race, origin or nationality. We in the organization maintain straightforward and direct contact with our recipients so that we can adapt immediate solutions to any problem that arises from the field. The vision for which we are working is to break the cycle of intergenerational poverty in Israel! In order to realize our vision, the organization operates in four main dimensions: Immediate Range - Humanitarian Assistance - In the first stage, the Pitchon Lev organization directly provides assistance to 250,000 Israelis every year. Social - Utilization of Rights Pitchon Lev centers for utilization of rights operate through three departments: Utilization of Rights – the centers provides our aid-recipients with information, guidance and direction on diverse topics: social security, housing, health, handling debts and employee rights. Another department provides our beneficiaries with legal assistance, and a third one focuses on policy, and works to change the overall policy on a national level. Long-term - Empowerment in Education - In the second stage, the Pitchon Lev organization within the framework of the "Lagaat Ba'ofek" educational project, invests in education and empowerment of youth. We have been working with dozens of communities in the geographic and social periphery since 2004 to help young people with the potential, talent and will but lack the means to realize their abilities and to break the cycle of poverty, and eventually not to go to the aid centers. Strategic Range - The Pitchon Lev Law for Combating Poverty - Our long experience in dealing with poverty has taught us that only action on the national level will lead to a significant reduction in poverty in Israel.
