UJIA in Israel
In the north of Israel, UJIA has started Galil-wide initiatives such as community transformation programmes and upgrading schools, as well as many individual local projects. These are intended to strengthen the region's social infrastructure and indirectly provide a significant boost to the local economy. Our Education Initiative spans the entire Galil and includes the upgrading of facilities and educational interventions, such as curriculum development and extra-curricular support. We also fund initiatives for sustainable employment opportunities, providing small business support and vocational training. We are heavily focused on community regeneration, linking with Tel Hai Academic College and Migal's world class research institute.
