What is WIZO

WIZO is a non-partisan, international Zionist movement of women who volunteer for the benefit of society in Israel. Since 1920, the year WIZO was founded in the United Kingdom, WIZO, with the support of its members throughout the world, helped the Jewish Community in Eretz Israel to educate society towards humanitarianism and equal rights; supporting women, children and youth within the framework of the community.

Today, WIZO embraces Israeli society with both arms; one arm cares for, serves, assists and supports, whilst the other fights, struggles and strives for the benefit of the children, women, elderly, new immigrants and all sectors of society in Israel. WIZO is an active leading force for social and educational activism and for the struggle to improve the position of women in Israeli society, and is one of the most important agents for change in Israel.

WIZO, the Women’s International Zionist Organisation, is a non-party international movement dedicated to creating a brighter tomorrow for those in Israel who need our help.

A Zionistic, humanistic Israeli society based on equal opportunities, focused on education and welfare for women children and youth, in cooperation with the diaspora and all friends of Israel.

WIZO is the largest welfare organisation in Israel, partnering with the Israeli government for a stronger and better Israeli Society.
