KIDS FOR KIDS was founded in December 2000 as a platform for Jews around the world to do tangible acts of kindness for Israeli kids who have been affected by terrorism.

VISION STATEMENT

KIDS FOR KIDS works to enrich the lives of our Jewish children who have been victims of the present reign of terrorism in Israel. In addition, KIDS FOR KIDS encourages Jewish youth the world over to get involved in helping to relieve the suffering of their Israeli counterparts.

KIDS FOR KIDS' mission is to foster tangible supportive activities and humane services for the innocent child victims of terrorism who have been left orphaned, maimed, and traumatized.

KIDS FOR KIDS develops and emphasizes the quality of chesed (kindness) which is inherent in every Jewish child. Working through neighborhood schools, centers, established organizations, and non-affiliated individuals, KIDS FOR KIDS accesses this characteristic of kindness as well as the high energy level of youth, channeling both into activities which will brighten the future of those whose lives have been forever changed as a result of senseless hatred and violence.

In Israel, KIDS FOR KIDS volunteers not only participate in projects to raise funds, they also are in a position for hands on actions to raise the spirits of those children affected  by the violence; volunteers going to the hospitals, homes, or where the injured or orphaned child and their family need loving support.

Of major concern is trauma and the unfortunate development of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is so easily cultivated in Israel’s current environment. It is imperative that this issue be realized, addressed and resolved, as best as possibly. To that end, KIDS FOR KIDS is whole heartedly dedicated to the children we refers to as ‘kids who fall between the stretchers’…those not on any official governmental or private agency list. We are dedicated to these children’s recovery.
