Young Adults Helping Vulnerable People in Ghana

With the help of your donation to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Annual/UJA Campaign, young adult volunteers are practicing tikkun olam (repairing the world) in Winniba, Ghana. Through Project Ten, an initiative of Federation overseas partner The Jewish Agency for Israel, volunteers from Israel and around the world are helping African children develop real-world skills. Their work in eight different schools includes an educational center and a learning farm, where the young adults integrate Jewish traditions to teach their students about the meaning of holidays such as Sukkot. Project Ten is focused on bringing together Jewish young adults to create sustainable change in vulnerable communities. In addition to Ghana, Project TEN also operates in Mexico, South Africa, Uganda, Greece and Israel. To support Federation and our overseas partners, click here to make a donation.
