WIZO: Doing What Matters
Championing Zionism and feminism to uplift women, youth and children and build a more just, thriving society.
Our Vision
Leading transformative initiatives that promote social resilience and gender equality in Israel.
For over 100 years, WIZO has impacted the lives of countless Israelis through all stages of life: from babies in our day care centers to youth in our youth villages, schools, and boarding institutions; young girls and women at pivotal life junctures in our women’s programs; and the elderly in our WIZO community centers and our Parents Home.
70,000 lives are touched by WIZO on a daily basis.
I would be just another lost kid if it wasn't for the incredible teachers at WIZO Rehovot.
Adi, WIZO Rehovot School 
Today I am strong, independent and I know my worth. I will never allow anyone to lay a hand on me again.
Tamar, Safety Net 
I volunteer because giving is a mindset. It's a way of life. It's what being a WIZO woman is all about.
