Help Israel to Overcome a Mental Health Crisis

Miriam’s harrowing story…
1 February 2025In a moment of profound significance for women and the future of early childhood education in Israel, WIZO has proudly launched a groundbreaking programme in collaboration with the esteemed Levinsky-Wingate Academic College. This initiative offers women from low-income backgrounds a valuable opportunity to earn a Bachelor of Education degree and specialised certifications, transforming lives and futures.
Imagine the passion and dedication filling WIZO daycare centres as these remarkable women combine academic study with invaluable hands-on experience. This is more than an educational programme—it’s a beacon of hope and empowerment, reaching deep into our communities.
The first cohort of 26 caregivers and managers from WIZO daycare centres began their academic journey in November, pursuing a bachelor’s degree and a teaching certificate in early childhood education.
WIZO, with the help of donors from WIZO federations around the world, is covering the majority of the costs.
Would you like to be part of this programme and become an integral part of these women’s professional and personal transformation? By sponsoring a student you will receive annual updates on their individual progess and can be a guest at the graduation ceremony where you can personally celebrate their achievement and see the direct impact of your support. Please contact Nicky Miller – n.miller@wizouk.org to get involved.
This pioneering group reflects diversity and determination, uniting participants from varied career stages, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds—Arab Israeli and Jewish Israeli women alike—all driven by a shared mission.
Wishing them all the best on this exciting journey!
