Vision

Today, ELI is the only organization in Israel recognized by the Government as dealing exclusively with all aspects of child abuse. Our vision for the future is that every child in Israel grows up safe, seen, and supported. Our comprehensive approach encompasses both direct services and broad community impact.

Goals

Serves as a catalyst for research-practice integration. AFELI will underwrite capital & multi-year operating commitments, & will explore U.S. institutional partnerships & naming opportunities.
2. 2.Increase the Number of Treatment Hours - With 20 new therapy rooms and a larger trained workforce, ELI will increase annual treatment hours by 10,000+ beyond 2024 levels of 12.000, prioritizing those most affected by war-related trauma and abuse. AFELI’s role is to fund clinician time, supervision, and case-management so no child waits for care.
3. 3.Intensify Therapist Training - Expand training for clinicians, counselors, & NGOs, providing structured supervision & support. Curricula will prioritize trauma-informed assessment, safety planning, and disclosure protocols. To multiply nationwide capacity, AFELI will fund scholarships for students specializing in child abuse, ensuring a pipeline of experts providing culturally responsive care.
