Sponsor a Child 2025 – The Children of Sderot
Each year, our Sponsor a Child in Israel campaign takes on the most urgent issues impacting vulnerable children across the country. In 2025, we turn our attention to Sderot — one of Israel’s most disadvantaged communities, now bearing the brunt of unimaginable trauma following the events of October 7, 2023.
Children who were already living in difficult circumstances have been uprooted, many losing loved ones and sheltering in bomb shelters for nights on end. Yet, a recent State Comptroller report paints an even darker picture:
Mental health support for those affected post-October 7 proved grossly inadequate.
Government agencies failed to deliver essential therapy to children in need.
Healthcare professionals warn the critical window for trauma intervention is six months – yet only a fraction of affected children received therapy.
In Sderot, a mere 4% of children received mental health treatment, leaving thousands without support.
Faced with these stark realities, Sponsor a Child 2025 aims to fill the gap where urgent support is lacking. Through our Open House and Day Care Centers, we are determined to provide therapy for over 1,500 children, offering everything from professional counseling to caring mentorship. Our programs provide vital emotional support, strengthening family resilience and promoting healing from trauma. By combining safe physical spaces, specialized counseling, and robust community resources, WIZO empowers the children and families of Sderot to envision and pursue a brighter future, even in the face of continued uncertainties.
Your sponsorship is not just a donation—it’s a lifeline. With your help, these traumatized children can break free from the grip of fear and step forward into hope. Time is running out, and every moment we delay could mean a lifetime of unresolved trauma.
