The Summit Institute operates a network of nine hundred foster families and thirteen emergency shelter foster families in Israel’s Jerusalem and southern regions, which serve 1,400 at risk children from different ethnic and religious backgrounds who have been removed from their homes. It also recruits and trains new foster families so that they can provide warm, permanent homes for these children. Over the last two decades, the Summit Institute has transformed the lives of thousands of children and given them hope for a brighter future.
