Our approach
Our primary focus is on children growing up in extreme poverty — children who may have some access to food, clothing, and shelter, but whose life circumstances (such as malnutrition and/or lack of resources) put them at increased risk of dropping out of school or never attending school at all. We give priority to children who have lost one or both parents. Pasuk Foundation makes no distinction based on ethnicity or religion.
Fighting Poverty
Poverty is not just a lack of money, food, or education. Poverty is a complex problem that can only be effectively addressed when tackled on multiple fronts. That’s why we support Pasuk children through an integrated approach, addressing their mental, physical, social, and spiritual poverty.
