Meir Panim: Changing Israel for the Better
Meir Panim is a not for profit organization that is truly dedicated to providing support to the ever growing impoverished population of Israel. According to the most recent statistics provided by Israel’s National Insurance Institute, 1,658,200 people are living below the poverty line. Of these 1,658,200 people, a staggering 756,900 are children who are unable to provide for themselves a better life. One out of every three Israeli children is suffering from hunger, one out of every four people is living in poverty overall, and one out of every five elderly citizens is in need of immediate medical assistance. In order to help lower these numbers and better provide for the country as a whole, the organization has designed a number of programs geared toward providing both immediate and long lasting relief to the impoverished population all over the country. They offer programs such as Free Restaurants, Meals on Wheels, Meals for Children, Employment Horizons, Food Shopping Cards, and After School Youth Programs. They are dedicated to not only offering the immediate relief that many of these people need, but providing them with the abilities necessary to once again become functioning members of Israeli society.
Meir Panim is dedicated to providing much needed relief to every citizen of Israel suffering from the effects of poverty. Children and the elderly are most at risk for the detrimental effects of poverty, and many of the organization’s programs are geared toward these two demographics specifically. One program designed by Meir Panim to help the elderly is called Meals on Wheels. Many of the elderly suffering from poverty are unable to leave their homes or beds in order to provide for themselves the necessary nourishment they so desperately need. Meals on Wheels delivers this much needed nourishment directly to their homes. Each day, the organization is responsible for 700 packaged meals to individuals in need. Meals are delivered by caring volunteers who ensure the overall health and safety of the individual as well.
Creating a Better Israel
Meir Panim is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing both immediate and long term relief to the impoverished population of Israel. Israel is in a state of ongoing and increasing poverty, with 21% of its population currently suffering from economic hardships. According to the most recent statistics made available by Israel’s National Insurance Institute, 1,658,200 people are currently living below the poverty line. Of this number, 756,900 are children who are unable to provide for themselves and must rely on others for their nutrition.
These numbers are only going to keep growing unless there are realistic and long lasting solutions provided to the people of the country. In order to provide for the impoverished of Israel, the organization is aided by the American Friends of Meir Panim, an independent organization based in the United States that believes in the causes of non-profit organizations in Israel. They provide much needed funding through grants that allow for programs like Free Restaurants, Meals on Wheels, Meals for Children, Employment Horizons, Food Shopping Cards, and After School Youth Clubs. Meals on Wheels is a particularly important program due to the number of elderly citizens in Israel who are unable to leave their beds or their homes.
Meir Panim understands that children are often the victims of poverty due to circumstances beyond their control. Unfairly, these children are forced to go to school, go to bed, and wake up with empty stomachs day in and day out. However, Meir Panim has designed a long lasting solution to this problem through its various programs geared to the health and safety of disadvantaged children. Meals for Children is a program that provides much needed nourishment to children at lunch time so that they may perform better in school, and better comprehend the lessons they are being taught. They also provide After School Youth Clubs for children who are often left alone for long periods of time due to the demanding jobs their parents work in order to provide what little they can.
Meir Panim | Proper Nutrition for Children
Children are the future. It is important that they receive the proper care and nutrition to grow up healthy, strong and ready to make a difference in the world. Nutrition plays a vital role in the development and growth of a child. It’s important for children to get a mix of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fat.
Providing our children with plenty of natural, unprocessed foods is the best way for them to get the nutrients they need. Unfortunately, not all children are able to get the necessary nutrients in order to maintain a healthy and productive life. Without the proper nutrition, children are not able to perform well in school or have the energy to do everyday things.
Certain countries such as Israel are suffering from poverty. Poverty is negatively affecting the nourishment the children need in order to grow. Meir Panim is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing relief to those citizens of Israel currently suffering from poverty.
They have developed and implemented programs such as Free Restaurants, Meals on Wheels, Meals for Children, Employment Horizons, Food Shopping Cards, and After School Youth Clubs. They understand that children are more susceptible to the effects of poverty due to their inability to provide for themselves and their reliance on their loved ones. They have dedicated themselves to not only relieving the entire country of harmful effects of poverty, but drastically reducing the number of children suffering from poverty as well.
A staggering 756,900 children are plagued with the inability to create a better life for themselves. The organization understands that helping children now will not only provide needed relief, but will also ensure their continued health and advancement. They are dedicated to providing a better future for children and families.
