New Classrooms. New Bomb Shelters. New Roofs.

The least glamorous of our programs and one of the most consequential. Building new classrooms in growing communities. Renovating old ones. Putting up reinforced bomb shelters in the South. None of it sexy. All of it indispensable.

The promise

The Unsexy Work

We've never gotten a major foundation grant for a roof repair. Nobody names a bus depot after their grandfather. Construction is the work that doesn't get press releases — and is exactly the work that determines whether a school can keep operating.

In 2026 alone, we have three active builds: a new 3-classroom wing in Karmiel, a full reinforced shelter renovation in Sderot, and a kitchen expansion in Beit Shemesh.

By the numbers
