Long term Touching the Horizon
Education and Empowerment to break the cycle of poverty
Research has shown that about 78% of children who are born to poor families in Israel grow up to be adults in poverty.
Pitchon-Lev has unique educational and empowerment programs, aimed to break the inter-generational cycle of poverty.
Through working directly with youth-at-risk, and families in need, helping them achieve their potential.
Our Programs improve participants’ potential for greater upward social mobility.
Since 2004, the Program has empowered and supported youth from the lower socio-geographic periphery.
Over 1,300 youth-at-risk from all parts of Israel are now in Program 7.
Program 7
This is a seven-year educational, empowerment and mentoring program that assists at-risk-youth from the socio-geographical periphery.
In three phases, it helps them achieve their potential with the objective of them completing the program with a foundation to pursue either tertiary education or stable and meaningful work. It takes them from grade 10 through their military or national service to one year post-discharge
Participants become ‘ambassadors’ for their communities.
