A message from
our founders
Thank you so much for visiting our page. When Yeka Girls was founded back in 2015, the goal was to provide a loving and safe environment where Jewish girls from all over the Ukraine in orphanages and other unfortunate situations could go during their school breaks. We never envisioned such an incredible outpouring of love and support from people around the globe, who encouraged us to provide much more than just a camp for our girls.
Thanks to YOU, our incredible supporter and friend – Yeka Girls to date has reached and touched the lives of over 700 Jewish girls from all over the Ukraine. Throughout the year we keep in touch with birthday presents, holiday gifts, and school visitations. Yeka girls has helped some graduate college, assisted girls in getting the mental health support they needed, and supported numerous girls in making Aliyah!
Over the years we have witnessed tremendous growth and positive changes for our girls. They continue to come back to Yeka as assistant staff, so they could pay forward some of what they received. Yeka Girls is not just a Jewish summer camp, a winter program or a scholarship fund. We are a family – joined together with love and empathy. With the clear vision and statement from the Lubavitcher Rebbe in mind that no Jewish Child should be forgotten or given up on, we will continue to provide for and reach out to as many Jewish children as possible.
No child should feel unloved or undeserving, and with your help we can fill those gaps.
Warmly,
Mrs. Hindy Levy and Mrs. Menucha Hanoka
