Facing Israel's Growing Poverty

6/25/2012

0 Comments

 
"Israel's greatest threat is not security," says Haaretz, "it's poverty." According to an article published in January 2011, despite the growth of Israel's economy and its "Start-Up Nation" phenomenon, about 25% of Israelis face poverty on a daily basis. With poverty spiraling out of control and a growing number of working poor, the figures have reached alarming rates: 1,774,800 citizens living below the poverty line, including 850,000 children. The full article can be seen here. http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/features/israel-s-greatest-threat-is-not-security-it-s-poverty-1.337939

RE-SPECS Frames for the Needy recognizes this unfortunate fact and has taken up the challenge. We have tapped into one area of assistance: the salvaging of glasses frames across the world for recycling and redistribution to Israel's needy. No longer will the underprivileged have to think twice before entering the optometry store. No longer will someone have to look like he's wearing broken Harry Potter glasses, requiring a spell of Oculus Reparo to mend them. Now, any poor person in Israel is entitled to obtain top-quality frames - either new, surplus ones or recycled pre-loved ones - so that he'll look like a million dollars! Find out more on our website www.respecsframes.org.
