For decades, we have recognised that Israel’s border regions and periphery are more than just lines on a map – they are living, breathing communities, home to pioneers who have chosen to build their lives in some of the country’s most remote areas.

Today, these communities are at a critical turning point. Following October 7^th, hundreds and thousands of Israelis were forced to evacuate their homes along the Gaza and Lebanon borders – and only 75% of families have since returned.

This Green Sunday, we are asking you to help us bring renewed strength and stability by donating to vital communities on the country’s borders including:

In the South (Gaza Border): We are breathing new life into shattered communities like Kibbutz Nahal Oz through gap-year programmes, where young pioneers volunteer to restore daily rhythms and lead rebuilding efforts.

·       In the North (Lebanon Border): We are refurbishing essential infrastructure, such as the Dishon community centre, to give families the confidence and sense of belonging to return home.

·       In the East (Jordan Border): We are investing in leadership and education programmes to attract young families to this remote, but vital, Arava region ensuring a thriving and sustainable presence for the future.

·       In the West (Egypt Border): We are establishing and sustaining vibrant civilian life in communities such as Be’er Milka by providing education, youth and communal facilities that enable families to put down roots and build long-term resilience.

At a time when many of these communities remain fragile, your commitment can make a real and lasting difference. Thank you.
