Na'amat - A Worldwide Movement
Just as our vision for "tikkun olam" has no boundaries, our membership is also global, with sister organizations in eight other countries around the world. Na’amat branches can be found in Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Peru, the United States and Uruguay. Together with Na’amat Israel, we are united under the banner of Na’amat International. We meet in person and online to collaborate, network and share ideas as we raise funds for a common cause. With the advent of advanced communication technologies, we now participate together in global programs and holiday celebrations.
Na’amat International is affiliated with the World Zionist Organization. Representatives from Na’amat Canada are invited to attend the WZO Congress held annually in Israel.
Na’amat Canada has signed the Na’amat World Movement Declaration of Solidarity and Support (2015) for the State of Israel and the Na’amat movement. In this declaration, we pledged to “…. work resolutely and tirelessly in the spirit of equality, democracy, and social justice.”

Room to Heal - Help us rebuild the Glickman Centre
Healing begins in a safe and dignified space.
For women and children escaping violence, a bedroom is more than a place to sleep. It is the first place where fear can ease, privacy is restored, and healing can begin.
Through the Room to Heal campaign, Na’amat Canada is rebuilding 12 bedrooms at the Na’amat Canada Glickman Centre for Family Violence Prevention in Tel Aviv — the first women’s shelter established in Israel.
This is a project Canada helped build. Now, we proudly rebuild it.
Our goal is to raise $140,000 to ensure that every room reflects safety, dignity, and care from the moment a family walks through the door.
We are honoured to announce the
Benny Freedman z”l Match For Hope
Through Holocaust survivor Benny Freedman's Legacy, we have received a generous gift of $70,000 to match every dollar raised toward our $140,000 goal.
The need is urgent.
The impact is immediate.
For more than 30 years the Glickman Centre has provided shelter, counselling, legal support, and rehabilitation programs for women and children experiencing abuse.
The bedrooms are central to this mission.

Kanot Middle School
A building is just walls, until we fill it with opportunity.
At Kanot Youth Village in Israel, hundreds of vulnerable teens find not just a school, but a second chance. Many come from poverty, trauma, or instability. Kanot gives them safety, support, and the tools to succeed.
Now, a brand-new middle school building has been constructed on campus, designed as a “school for the future”. It’s ready… almost.
To open its doors in September 2025, we need your help to furnish and equip this vital space.
Your donation will help provide:
- Desks and chairs
- Science and technology equipment
- Art and music supplies
- Air conditioning, whiteboards, and more
Every donation is an investment in a young person’s future.
Because it truly takes a village to turn hope into action.

Thank you for joining us in supporting youth in Israel
