1/3 of Israel children live below the poverty line
Thousands of infants are improperly fed or malnourished
Devastating development issues
Long term negative effects for the child, the family and for Israel
Recent reports show that close to one third of Israeli families live below the poverty line. This includes thousands of babies who either frequently miss meals or have their portions diluted during feeding. These babies have an increased likelihood of experiencing significant problems in their physical and mental development over the course of their lives. The short and long term effects of malnutrition in babies include behavioural issues, impaired growth and development and increased susceptibility to lingering diseases. These are just a handful of potential issues that a malnourished baby is likely to deal with as he/she grows older. Not only can this have severe consequences on the child but on the country in general, as one third of the Israeli population will enter adulthood under these circumstances.
You have the power to completely reverse this trend. Through your generous contributions, Yad Ezra V’Shulamit’s Baby Center is able to deliver baby formula, baby food, diapers, wipes and other infant products to hundreds of new mothers in desperate need of help. Let’s give a baby in Israel a future they deserve and help sustain healthy growth for the country.
