Foster Family Programme / Mishpachtonim

By living together under one roof in our Foster Family Programme, children, foster parents, and siblings form deep, trusting bonds. In this safe space, children learn essential life skills like communication, responsibility, and resilience. They grow in confidence, begin to dream again, and, most importantly, feel they belong. You can help us give these vulnerable children the home they rightly deserve.

Migdal Ohr’s Foster Family Programme – Mishpachtonim – is a transformative initiative that creates a true family-style home for children and teenagers who have faced neglect, abandonment, or the trauma of losing their parents.

Unlike traditional care systems that place children in boarding schools or large group homes, Migdal Ohr’s Foster Care model places up to 12 children with a full-time foster couple in a warm, family-like environment. These are our Mishpachton Family Dorms, loving homes on the Migdal Ohr campus.

In each home, the foster parents raise the children as their own – celebrating birthdays, sharing meals, helping with homework, and guiding them through the challenges of growing up. They provide practical care, emotional security, and consistency every child needs to heal and thrive.

The Support Every Child Needs

Our foster parents are never alone in their mission. A dedicated team supports them:

  • Therapists: helping children process trauma and build resilience
  • Teachers: keeping academics on track
  • Recreational specialists: creating opportunities for joy, play, and creativity

Through this nurturing environment, the Foster Family Programme gives each child the chance to overcome their past and step into a brighter future – one where they are not defined by loss, but by love and opportunity.

Your support makes this possible. Every donation helps provide a child with a safe home, caring parents, and the resources they need to heal and thrive.
