Repairing Homes – Rebuilding Lives
Israel’s ONLY large-scale Non-Profit HOME REPAIR ORGANIZATION
What We Do
We rebuild lives through urgent home repairs and personal family advocacy.
All renovations are carried out by Tenufa Bakehila’s professional workers.
Our efforts create safe and respectable homes for deserving, underprivileged families.
Who We Help
All of our clients are referred to us by municipal social services, who are unable to provide the home repairs that their clients need. This is a heartbreaking Catch-22 situation: these families often obtained ownership of their homes through government programs, but now, because they own their homes, are ineligible for aid. With no ability to afford even basic repairs, these families find themselves living in terrible conditions with no viable alternative.
Needy Soldier Families
Elderly Citizens & Holocaust Survivors

How We Help
With skilled hands and warm hearts, our tradesmen and family counselors help Israel’s neediest families get back on track and move forward towards a brighter future. Our efforts produce decent and safe homes for deserving families, creating positive momentum that helps them break out of the cycle of poverty.
