Yossi's Story
Yossi is five years old and wanders the streets of Haifa alone. His mother is a drug addict and his father a brutal alcoholic who beats him for sport.
Yossi rarely goes to kindergarten, can't read or write and is violent to his peers. Sadly, Yossi thinks this is the way life is meant to be.
Sponsor A Child is here to turn his world around. WIZO cares for 15,000 children every day including many like Yossi. By meeting their emotional, educational and social needs, we aim to give the children in our care a real chance for the future. We can make a huge difference in the lives of children during their most formative years. Our existing network of Day Care Centers looks after children aged between six months and five years, six days a week.
These WIZO Centers have become secure havens for children stranded by family breakdown. Each day is built around a core of therapeutic activities, stimulating educational games and healthy social interaction. Skilled and compassionate staff using the most up-to-date techniques ensure that each child receives the very best education, attention and love.
Wherever possible, we work to revive a healthy parent-child relationship running special programs in centers for the treatment and prevention of violence in the family.
