Mission

American Friends of Migdal Ohr (AFMO) is the North American fundraising arm of Migdal Ohr in Israel. For more than 34 years, our organization has been transforming the lives of children from impoverished and disadvantaged homes, where the basic need for shelter, safety, and love could not be met. We provide over 6,500 boys and girls with the priceless opportunity to experience family, live each day with a sense of wellbeing, and gain the education and skills needed to feel safe and live productive, rewarding lives. Founded in 1972 by Rabbi Yitzchak David Grossman, Migdal Ohr provides a loving and nurturing home, meets the overwhelming emotional and physical needs, and offers outstanding formal and Jewish education to children from infancy through high school. We offer mentors, friends, clothing, libraries, enhancement courses, and career skills to our children.
