Strengthening
The Family for Stabilization.
Community is the definition of " LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF" that goes beyond the normality of family. It is the desire to make an impact to help people and be of service, that makes the difference each and every day.
When communities strengthen families we create strong communities.

Our
Programs
These are a few of our most recent programs in the H.O.P.E. program involving parents and their children of every age, and need .

Toy & HUG Therapy
ButtonTraumatic events occur sometimes unannounced and leave lasting impressions on the children. A toy & a hug sets the stage of a new beginning for our new children entering A'RIZION group shelter. HUG Therapy paired up with a Toy chosen by the child, helps to alleviate stress levels the child may experiernce during enrollment. We strive to matchmake between toys and youngsters throughout the program allowing the child to identify self , ownership and sharing.
-
Special Needs
ButtonBringing up a healthy and happy child is particularly challenging for underprivileged families dealing with children who have special needs. We offer assistance to these families, through referrals with APD . This ensures that your child will receive qualified professional assistance that he or she needs.
-
EYES 4 THE FUTURE
ButtonSight is critical for so many everyday functions, from reading the blackboard to playing basketball. We provide free eye exams and subsidized prescription eyewear so no child needs to squint when they look for their future.
-
Animal Therapy
- Numerous studies have shown that animals help children overcome learning difficulties, emotional challenges and trauma. Not every family can have a household pet, so our animal farm village enables children to enjoy the benefit of having a pet .
Child's Play Activities
- Giving children security and a sense of normalcy after a traumatic event can be quite a challenge for parents. The Child's Play activities program offer a warm comfortable environment for the entire Family to bond, study, play, eat and relax. Helping the children to enjoy themselves while strengthening the Family's unity.
