The non-profit association works to provide assistance, love and support for children between the ages of 3 to 6, which were raised in tough environment and suffered from lack of basic education. The association operates dozens of shelters (with free computer access) and emergency lines which provide a helping hand.
The Association reports an increase of approximately 25% of applications for receiving children in day shelters, during the year 2012. Due to a fiscal distress in the Operating activities, "hand in hand" has no choice but to reject these requests.
These days, "hand in hand" negotiating in a critical battle against the city hall of Tel Aviv, representing the demand of opening shelters in the "Hatikva" neighborhood and "Shapira" located in southern city. The paradox in this battle is that the city hall seeks to open a worm house to the children, but supplies small budgets for the project.
"Unfortunately, these children will be exposed to the dangers of the street," says Shelly Hoshen, president of the organization. "There is nothing crueler then to refuse a child in need, who does not have a hot meal. We rely on private donations and the portion becomes small with every passing year," she adds.
