Starting the new year with new hope thanks a multi-cultural resilience-based youth leadership program

“I’m inspired by the youth and people of Tsunami affected Kesennuma and Ishinomaki regions of Japan. [Thanks to them] I learned how we can initiate social transformation through our own efforts”, said Altap Danuwar, one of the youth participants from Nepal.

On December 24th-29th, Japan IsraAID Support Program welcomed a group of young and dynamic youth leaders to the second ...cohort of the IsraAID Youth Leadership Program 2016 (YLP) held in Miyagi, Japan from December 24th-29th, 2016.

The ‘2016 Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards’ ceremony will be broadcasted tonight on Fusion 7:30 PM EST

The Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Awards were created in 2013 as a way to publi...cly recognize and celebrate the greatness of people from around the world.

War itself is just part of the story.

While working on the beaches of Lesvos, our team met 15-year-old Muhammad from Syria.
He saw his family murdered in front of him, then traveled from city to city within Syria to escape bombings and more pain and suffering.
We met him on the shores of Lesvos, Greece after crossing the Aegean Sea with other refugees. Our medical team helped him off the boat, and then encouraged him to participate in one of our workshops in the Greek refugee... camps.
This is where he told us his story – not with the words he could not bring himself to say, but through the power of his pen and crayons.
As the conflict in Syria rages on, and the death toll grows, many of those who have managed to escape are still struggling to find safe ground. As they roam from camp to camp, from border to border, they remain vulnerable - none more so than children, who have little to no access to education or a safe environment. Instead, haunted by traumatic scenes from their past, they face continued uncertainty about their future.
All across Europe and the Middle East, IsraAID is supporting the daily struggles of people like Muhammad, as they seek a better future – one that is safe, free, and stable.

IsraAID calls to stop the fighting in Aleppo!

For six years now countless men, women and children have been killed in Syria. Mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, friends, loved ones – it is endless and horrifying and it MUST STOP.

IsraAID remains committed to helping Syrian fleeing war wherever and however we can – survivors are now facing long-term trauma, freezing temperature, and a life of displacement all over Europe and the Middle East.

IsraAID's Menstrual Health Management (MHM)/Livelihood program in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya is facilitating 8 women groups to conduct sensitization on how to safely and hygienically manage menstruation, and empowering them economically through sales of reusable sanitary towels.

The women are also conducting outreach activities in the crowded markets of the camp, where they perform plays, games and dance, all to raise awareness on... MHM and attract new customers for their products.

“In pain there is hope and in hope there is life", shared a Yazidi girl during a psychological support session led by IsraAID - explaining how she survived her terrifying capture by ISIS.

Twenty-two women participated in the session; each one stressed over and over again their motivation comes from their pain. "ISIS cannot and will not win; they cannot break us." Watching the young women turn their anger into something productive, is a ray of light in the darkest of places. ...
Thousands of women are still trapped in slavery at the hands of ISIS, and over a million people continue to live in camps with basic conditions. They need our help - food, emergency supplies for the winter, hygiene kits, and professional care to ensure they can somehow look forward instead of back.
