Who we are
The Orenstein Project has been operational in Israel since 2017, working to fulfil Henry and Susie Orenstein’s vision to provide nutrition security and support to underprivileged children, teens, families, and the elderly - giving them the opportunity to blossom.
The Orenstein Project maximizes its resources, working in tandem with local government agencies, the business sector, and other non-profit organizations.
Every day, The Orenstein Project initiate, operate, and support hundreds of students in the "long school day" programs, providing meals and extra-curricular activities for children and teens, the elderly, Holocaust survivors, and other underprivileged groups.
