Help Us Build the Future of Smart Chesed

Lema'an Achai is Growing — and So Are the Needs
Over the past few years, Lema'an Achai has led the way in "Smart Chesed" — empowering families to break free from the cycle of poverty with dignity and lasting impact. Each year, we help hundreds of families across Israel rebuild their lives. But today, we’re facing a critical turning point. Our caseload has increased by 50% in just the last three years. And those doors are no longer wide enough.
The International Chesed Center — A Game-Changer
We are launching the International Chesed Center in Beit Shemesh — a groundbreaking facility that will serve as the heart of our expanding programs. This new hub will:
- Centralize all of Lema’an Achai’s life-changing services under one roof.
- Enable us to serve more families with greater efficiency.
- Provide a modern, dignified space for clients, volunteers, and staff.
- Multiply our impact across Israel for generations to come.
The Need Is Urgent. The Time Is Now.
Our current space is holding us back. We’re turning away families simply because we lack the room and resources to help them. The new center will allow us to expand services, empower more volunteers, and transform even more lives — permanently.
Open your Hearts — Dedicate, Build, Empower.
From dedicating a leaf on the Lema'an Achai Donor Tree to naming the building, everyone can take part — make a dedication in honor or in memory of a loved one, and help create a legacy that will endure for generations.
Together, we can build a brighter future for thousands of families.
