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.
