Hazon Yeshaya
Hazon Yeshaya (www.hazonyeshaya.org) is a leading humanitarian organization that is fighting poverty and hunger by encouraging and supporting the projects of Hazon Yeshaya Soup Kitchens in Israel. Founded in 1997, Hazon Yeshaya has grown to a nationwide network serving more than 400,000 hot meals every month at over 60 locations providing day care for the needy and a warm atmosphere for all. 
Hazon Yeshaya operates vocational training courses for those who have been unable to gain a foothold in the workforce, including those who didn't complete schooling, single mothers, discharged soldiers who served their country and now find themselves with no trade and at a dead end, and people whose trades have become obsolete. The courses themselves serve a valuable function of restoring self-confidence to people who have had their sense of self-worth constantly undermined by the inability to put food on their table. After completing the training and finding work, they will become the breadwinners of their families, and cease to dine in soup kitchens, thus restoring their dignity.
Courses are available in Information Technology, and the Foundation has endowed a 25 unit computer classroom to Hazon Yeshaya's computer center, which now has two such classrooms with a total of 50 state of the art computers.
