Meir Panim was established to offer a realistic solution to the growing poverty crisis in Israel that affects over one and a half million people across the country. Meir Panim is committed to provide both immediate and long-term relief to the impoverished of Israel - young and old alike - via its dynamic range of food and social service programs in distressed cities throughout Israel, all aimed at helping the needy with dignity and respect.
For the last decade, tens of thousands of disadvantaged men, women, and children - including Holocaust survivors have turned to Meir Panim as their source of hope for a brighter future. Meir Panim's unwavering commitment to the people of Israel has helped bring lasting relief to the poor, encouragement for the less fortunate, new opportunities for struggling families, and hope for children-at-risk.
The Problem:
According to the latest povert report from the National Insurance Institute in February 2009, there are 1,631,000 people living below the poverty line; among them are 783,600 children!
With one in three children suffering from hunger, one in four people living in poverty, and one in five of the elderly in need of immediate assistance, Meir Panim has an enormous responsibility to help those who need it most.
The Solution:
Meir Panim's food and social service programs help to alleviate the harmful of poverty in the short-term and provide long-term, proactive solutions to assist needy Israelis to break out of the cycle of poverty and become active, self-sufficient members of Israeli society.

What does this say about the rich and wealthy?
It is a disgrace to humanity in every single country.
Those that are given wealth are given it to help humanity not just themselves.
Those that refuse to give when they are able then come back again to experience poverty for themselves in another life time.
