Academic study and marriage are significant milestones in the life of every individual. It is the time to start a family, select a profession, and to begin accumulating tools for professional success and self-realization during the course of one’s adult life. Just as at any significant juncture in life, we take it upon ourselves at the organization to support the widows and orphans at this important time, by way of awarding study scholarships for bachelor’s and master’s degrees, and presenting a wedding gift to newly married couples.
We believe that the journey toward acquiring an education and building a family is important and constitutes one of the many choices encountered in life. We are here to support them all the way through.
Established in 1991, IDF Widows and Orphans Organization runs projects and activities all year round. It is the representative body for widows and orphans at the legislative level and in the face of the wider public, and it offers emotional, social, financial, and any other necessary support.
