The Jaffa Institute (www.jaffainstitute.org) is an Israeli private, non-profit, multi-service social agency assisting severely disadvantaged children and their families. In response to local needs, the Jaffa Institute offers educational and welfare services throughout Jaffa, Holon, Bat Yam, south and east Tel Aviv, Rishon Lezion, and Bet Shemesh with administrative offices located in south Tel Aviv. Our programs help children, teenagers, and their parents acquire the tools necessary to break free from the intergenerational cycle of poverty found in our service area and positively affect Israeli society.
