Sponsor a Child - WIZO NSW

Today, around 600,000 Israeli children are exposed to domestic violence.

And each one of these is known as an invisible child.

We’re not talking about the children who are victims of abuse, but of those who have witnessed abuse and are traumatised by it.

It’s the 5 year old boy who sees his mother beaten repeatedly and won’t talk to anyone at day care.

It’s the 12 year old girl who hears the constant psychological abuse at home and begins to blame herself.

It’s the 7 year old sisters who hide from their violent father and are traumatised for life.

It’s the forgotten ones. The ones that are difficult to spot.

The effort to identify and support these children has become The Invisible Children program and all funds raised during our Sponsor a Child in Israel campaign this year will go towards these children in need.

So to make a real difference, we need you.

Please be part of this vital initiative in 2023.

Select your level of tax-deductible sponsorship and change a life forever.

Your sponsorship will enable WIZO to provide the best age-appropriate education while taking into consideration the unique variables of each child’s surroundings, as well as providing innovative programs for children at risk. It will allow the Multipurpose Day Care Centres to offer full day programs from 7AM – 7PM. Here, infants and toddlers will receive the care that they do not get at home, including proper nutrition, attention, cognitive stimulation and encouragement.

In addition to the normal education programs for all children in WIZO’s care, a Ruby Sponsorship will allow WIZO to offer counselling & intensive parenting workshops for families of children at WIZO Day Care Centres or in Youth Villages. This will include psychological therapy and counselling for children and youth at risk. A Ruby Sponsorship will provide hot meals, clean clothes, basic health education and counselling for teenage girls who are on the streets in Beersheva devoid of hope or plans for a better future.

A year’s support in full day care so that parents can go to work knowing their children are in the best hands possible. The cost of Day Care Centres is affordable allowing mothers to go to work and provide vital financial support for their families. Children of all backgrounds spend their days in a warm loving environment with all they need to thrive and grow. The children will gain developmental skills, excellent education, playtime and any therapies that may be needed.

WIZO professionals and volunteers will provide care for children or youth from dysfunctional homes. They will receive hot meals, tutoring assistance, enrichment programs and positive social activities after school until the evening. All of this gives them what they do not get at home and assists them in closing the educational and social gaps between themselves and their peers.

An Emerald Sponsorship will offer a secure, safe nurturing environment for 20 young girls from distressed socioeconomic backgrounds living on the streets in Beersheva, for a year. It will provide hot meals, clean clothes, basic health education and counselling. It will give these girls hope for the future.
