During the last quarter, Paamonim volunteers helped over 1,500 families to overcome their economic crises and recover from their economic distress. 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 4,500 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 at the last quarter. Volunteers are the backbone of Paamonim's activities, and their satisfactory training is of the greatest importance and value to Paamonim.
We are delighted to inform you that the Paamonim organization has been awarded the Seal of Effectiveness for Social Activities for 2016 by the Middot organization. This award is granted every year to one selected organization only, in recognition of the effectiveness of its social activities in influencing others, leading to significant results.
The story of Shilav Swisa from Ashkelon:
This is my family, and this is us smiling together after working with Paamonim. Thanks to Paamonim, we finally stopped living in fear that we wouldn’t have the means to buy what we needed. They helped us close our debts, and they helped me find work in what I truly love. They helped me pursue my dream and made me believe that I can achieve anything I want with motivation and determination. They gave me the motivation to succeed. All of the debts really came between our family, causing so much anger and strife. With Paamonim’s help, my family is finally a family once again. And most importantly, I am finally calm, and even optimistic- something that I have never felt before in my life. I am truly thankful to Paamonim. - Shilav from Ashkelon.
