Friends of Ofanim, Inc. is a nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to raise funds and awareness in the United States for Ofanim, an Israeli nonprofit organization. Ofanim brings the highest quality education directly to the children who need it most by retrofitting used buses into mobile classrooms and driving them to Israel’s moshavim and small villages to provide supplemental education in math, computer skills, science, arts and more to Israel's poorest youth.
In 2009, Ofanim reached 800 young students in over 30 moshavim or small villages in Israel’s periphery, and the feedback from communities was overwhelmingly positive. For our contributions to Israeli society, the organization was awarded Israel’s highest award to nonprofits by the Ministry of Welfare.
Looking forward, this year we expect to double our population served to 1,600 children in 63 moshavim and we are committed to maintaining the same high level of services and impact. To do this we need your help!
