The Sulam L’Atid NGO brings together people of good conscience
who have decided to contribute to reducing the social and economic
gap in Israel for the sake of our younger generation. Today, about
20% of Israel’s high school children work after school, sometimes as
much as 35 hours per week, to help support their impoverished
families. According to the people of the Sulam L’Atid NGO, after-
school work at the expense of high school students’ studies
perpetuates the economic complexity, in which these pupils are
caught up. Therefore, the Sulam L’Atid NGO provides gifted pupils
from poor neighborhoods with free tutorials. In addition, in return for
these pupils’ honoring their commitment to reduce their after-school
workload or to refrain from working during the school year and to
participate regularly and actively in our tutorials, the Sulam L’Atid
NGO rewards its pupils with vouchers to buy food and clothing. The
NGO works in cooperation with Israeli schools and accompanies its
pupils during successive years up to their matriculation (college
preparatory) exams. In this way the Sulam L’Atid NGO intends to see
its students be accepted to higher education and afterwards to
lucrative positions in the job market. We should stress that the Sulam
L’Atid NGO functions at all levels, beginning with its tutors,
continuing with its supervisors and ending with its directors entirely
on the basis of volunteers.
