“We chose to join Yeladenu because we believed there was a need to address the difficulties of children and youth evacuated from their homes in a broad and comprehensive manner. There was a need to support them throughout an extended period and assist them, working together with the local councils and authorities and government ministries. One of Yeladenu’s most significant strengths is its flexibility and its ability to adjust to evolving needs. Thus, for example, after focusing in its beginning on evacuees at the Dead Sea area and Eilat, upon the evacuees’ return to the area surrounding Gaza, a decision was made to continue supporting them, while at the same time, due to the prolonged war in the North, to leverage the know-how gained to benefit residents of the North, and to expand activity to Tiberias and Majdal Shams. Beyond Check Point’s monetary contribution, we participate in the Operation. We are on the Steering Committee, we bring voices from the field and feedback from other initiatives we are involved in. We feel that we are learning and bringing part of the know-how accumulated in the Operation to other places we are exposed to. We believe strongly in the Collective Impact model and connecting between different entities and functions engaged in the same objective.”

“In the face of the overwhelming demands placed on the business sector since October 8, the choice to engage in a significant partnership with the Yeladenu Operation cannot be taken for granted. Partners were required to place complete trust in Sheatufim and Zionism 2000, based on our proven ability to rapidly drive transformative change and our commitment to fully design and implement an impactful Operation where needed. We successfully mobilized businesses to contribute to the Operation through various resources - financial support, in-kind donations, technology, and employee volunteers who conducted resilience- building activities and brought joy to evacuated children at the Shachar centers in Eilat, the Dead Sea, and Tiberias.” Einat Abraham-Rotlevy, Development Manager, Zionism 2000 and Director of Business Sector Partnerships, Yeladenu Operation
