Immigrant Assistance

ICEJ Aid offers you the opportunity to partner with us in helping new immigrants as they come to Israel. God promised that He would bring back the Jewish people to the land of Israel from all over the earth and plant them in their land. Here, ICEJ Aid steps in and actively helps new immigrants get planted and rooted in Israel though grants and family visits that provide essential household items, supplies, and toys for children.

Basic Needs

Our work enables new immigrants in financial crisis to be matched with trained mentors who help them acclimatize into Israel. Aid may begin with basic needs such as household items and food. This is followed by a comprehensive plan developed to move each family toward independence based on their unique challenges. Assistance focuses on developing or upgrading marketable skills, finding employment, and helping children adjust to a new school system by providing extra-curricular activities or tutoring.

Cost: $5,000/€3,700 per family over the course of one year.

Dental Program for Orphaned and Abandoned Children

ICEJ Aid assists orphaned and abandoned youth rescued from the streets and state orphanages of the Ukraine. At 16, the youth are given the opportunity to relocate to Israel. Once in the land, the focus is on supporting these young people until they are able to stand on their own. For many disadvantaged immigrant children, dental care is beyond their reach. After years of neglect, advanced treatment can be expensive and is not covered in the government medical care package. Join with us to provide for the well being of Israel’s most vulnerable new citizens.

Cost: Needs vary, a gift of any amount would be a blessing.

Education Program for Ethiopian Immigrants

For many immigrants from Ethiopia, the adjustment from a mainly agricultural society to the advanced technological society in Israel represents a vast change. Many came unable to read or write their native language and suddenly needed to learn Hebrew. With an estimated 70% of the Ethiopian community living below the poverty line, education is essential to help the new generation of youth to break the employment barrier and move beyond poverty. ICEJ Aid is stepping into the gap hoping to increase the number of Ethiopian youth in higher education as a means of integrating into Israel society.

Suggested scholarship per student: $475/€345 or monthly assistance with housing and living expenses per student: $180/€130.
