JWA of HK

WIZO, the Women’s International Zionist Organization, is dedicated to the advancement of the status of women, the provision for the welfare of all sectors of Israeli society, and the encouragement of Jewish education in Israel and the Diaspora.

WIZO’s goals are:

• to provide for the welfare of infants, children, youth, women and the elderly;
• to advance the status of women in Israel;
• to strengthen the bond between world Jewry and the State of Israel;
• to support the absorption of new immigrants.

 

WIZO was created in 1920 in England and presently numbers over a quarter of a million volunteers in 50 federations throughout the world.

 

The JWA is involved in 2 main projects for WIZO:

1. A day care center in Yad Eliyahu, Tel Aviv. Through its donation, the JWA is helping this Organization to renovate the premise and build a new playground.

2. A shelter for battered women in Ashdod. For many years the maintainance of the venue is sponsored by the JWA.
