During the last quarter, Paamonim volunteers helped over 1,700 families to recover from their economic crisis. Paamonim tailored its solutions to alleviate the particular difficulties faced by each individual family. Paamonim's programs for these families included long-term economic coaching, focused counseling, group economic recovery programs, and various combinations of the above.
About 4,000 people took part in Paamonim's group programs for preventive guidance and financial education, and tens of thousands more people acquired tools and tips for correct economic household management through Paamonim's newsletters, as well as through its Internet site.
200 new volunteers joined us during the last quarter. Volunteers are the backbone of Paamonim's activities, and their satisfactory training is of the greatest importance and value to Paamonim.
This quarter a new program began in Paamonim that offers services to very low-functioning families. Paamonim’s new program, Head Start, is a poverty alleviation program that operates in cooperation with three other entities, and provides intensive counseling to poor families focusing on three main issues: management of finances, employment, and familial relationships. This program addresses the multi-dimensional challenges that accompany poverty, and aims to help families break their cycle of poverty through counseling and guidance on various aspects of daily life that affect their overall quality of life. 540 families are expected to begin the program this year.
