Israeli Children's Fund​

For children who lost a parent on October 7th, on the path to full and thriving lives, from birth to age 30

Donate

Our Story:

Atufim B’Ahava – Israeli Children’s Fund (ICF) was established days after the events of October 7th by Israeli business and hi-tech professionals, out of an understanding that the hundreds of children and young adults orphaned that day would require long-term support- personal, professional, and financial – to rebuild their lives.

Our Vision and Commitment:

We are committed to providing every child with long-term, personally tailored support from early childhood through age 30, helping them build independent, thriving, and the fullest life possible, whilst coping with and overcoming loss and trauma.

The organization currently supports 573 children and young adults who lost one or both parents on that tragic day. Many of them experienced deep trauma, the loss of additional family members, displacement from their homes, and significant harm to their sense of security, belonging, and stability.

Our Areas of Action:

Recognizing that no two journeys are the same, we have designed each grant and program to be flexible, adapting to different stages in life and evolving needs.

Join a Mitzvah with a Purpose
Since October 7th, I’ve been living in survival mode, holding on as tight as I can just to keep what’s left from falling apart. Thanks to Atufim, I finally allowed myself to care for my own emotional well-being
In her 30’s, lost both parents
ICF helped me immensely on my path to recovery. Thanks to the support and resources you provided across every area of my life, I’ve rebuilt myself—I even enrolled in a bachelor’s degree, which is something I don't take for granted. Thank you so much for being there for me and for giving me someone to turn to!
Age 24, lost her mother
From the beginning, so many people wanted to help but didn't know how, and a lot of things slipped through the cracks because there wasn't proper guidance. At Atufim B'Ahava, you never gave up—you made sure I got the exact support I needed, and thanks to the grants, I was able to develop my studio far beyond what I ever imagined.
Age 30, lost his father
The tuition grant gave me room to breathe and allowed me to take care of living expenses with peace of mind. Thanks to the grants, I could take professional courses and training—like robotics, welding, and handyman work. I even landed a job cleaning air conditioners thanks to the handyman course.
Age 25, lost both parents
The grants made it possible for me to take surfing lessons and learn to play the guitar—things I couldn't have done without your support. Being able to let my body release stress in the ocean, which is a sanctuary for me, makes me feel like I’m coming back to life, healing, and changing my state of mind.
Age 25, lost both parents
I recently got married, and it was incredible and deeply moving, even with the painful absence of my father. Thank you so much for your help in covering the wedding costs.
Age 26, lost her father
Thanks to your support, my child and I were able to join developmental activities, and I got help from a caregiver. This support gives me room to breathe, allowing me to take care of myself, regain my strength, and be a better mother.
