​Right now, one in four Israeli children are living below the poverty line. Moreover, hundreds of thousands of Israel's youth are at risk of marginalization. KH-UIA's flagship YOUTH FUTURES program is currently working to break patterns of failure and risky behavior among Israel's most acutely disadvantaged youth. Working in tandem with the schools, young post-army aged mentors have succeeded in rehabilitating tens of thousands of children throughout the country. Meanwhile, Israel's hallmark YOUTH VILLAGES, work as residential high school models to provide all-encompassing, nurturing educational environments for severely underprivileged children, in dire need of personalized emotional and educational care. These highly vulnerable 'youth at risk' end up finishing high school, enlisting in the IDF and living fulfilled productive lives as part of mainstream Israeli society.
