About WIZO
WIZO is an international women's movement with more than 250,000 members in and around 50 countries worldwide. It is a powerful voice for all Jewish women and is recognised by the United Nations as a non-Governmental Organisation with consultative status on ECOSOC and UNICEF.
Our goal is to raise funds to support vital social welfare work caring for the people of Israel. Our projects respond to the challenges that arise in Israeli society through every stage of life; to aid and care for children and adults in distress, lend a hand to new immigrants and protect those at risk in order to secure a better society for all. Above all, we want to help to turn people who may have started out with many disadvantages into secure, fulfilled and fully-contributing citizens of Israel.
In Israel a network of our own highly-trained and caring staff and volunteers is instrumental in operating over 800 social welfare projects and services. WIZO is one of the largest providers of social welfare next to the Israeli government.
