Caring for children and youth:

Childhood is the most precious time of life. It is the time to learn, play, dream, and develop physically, intellectually, emotionally and mentally. And yet, one out of every seven children in the world does not enjoy a real childhood, not even of the most modest nature. While the world leaps ahead towards advanced technology and economic prosperity, more and more children have to work just to subsist, struggling to survive under the most horrendous physical, nutritional, health and emotional conditions. These are not mere words and harsh descriptions, but rather daily life for hundreds of millions of children globally – children without a childhood, without hope and without a future.

Brit Olam is based on a firm belief in the ability of children, youth, families and their communities to bridge social gaps and developmental limitations, and to cope with difficult situations of crisis and distress. Brit Olam  feels strongly that each and every child has the right to have a happy, healthy and secure childhood. In all its field programs Brit Olam's challenge is to fulfill this commitment.
