Social – Utilization of Rights
Pitchon Lev centers for utilization of rights operate along the lines of The Israeli Declaration of Independence which promises that aspiring to establish equal social and political rights for all its citizens…”
The utilization of rights is facilitated by three departments:
- Centers for Utilization of Rights – the centers provides our aid-recipients with information, guidance and direction on diverse topics: social security, housing, health, handling debts and employee rights.
- Legal Assistance Department
- Policy Department that works to change the overall policy on a national level.
A Humanitarian Umbrella Organization
The Pitchon Lev organization provides direct assistance to 250,000 Israelis every year.
The recipients receive aid in food, baby food, household utensils, clothing, footwear, electrical appliances, legal and medical advice and hairdressing services.
Pitchon Lev works to enable a dignified life for those who need a platform to exit from poverty to those who can.
The recipients of the aid are referred to us through letters of referral from social workers from all over the country. Any request for help, even without a referral from a social worker, receives immediate attention, without unnecessary bureaucracy. Already on the day of referral, we immediately assist in the distribution of food basket and clothing details required, and only then the recipient is asked to furnish a referral from a social worker.
The organization has always wished to be in direct contact with the recipients of the aid and to maintain dialogue with them without mediation in the middle. Thanks to this, we are able to adapt to new situations and to adapt immediate solutions to the needs that arise from the field.
Assistance to the needy in the aid centers is carried out on several levels :

Program 7
This is a seven-year educational, empowerment and mentoring program that assists at-risk-youth from the socio-geographical periphery.
In three phases, it helps them achieve their potential with the objective of them completing the program with a foundation to pursue either tertiary education or stable and meaningful work. It takes them from grade 10 through their military or national service to one year post discharge.
Participants become ‘ambassadors’ for their communities.

It takes Arab youth from grade 10 to complete high school and then either stable and meaningful work or to tertiary education.

Pitchon Lev’s Recycling Center
Every month over 60 tons of worn out clothing is donated to the poor through Pitchon Lev’s two humanitarian aid centers in Carmiel and in Rishon Letzion. Worn out clothing constitutes 6% of the household waste and does not decompose.
In January 2012, the Pitchon Lev Recycling Center was established in the Pitchon Lev Aid Center in Carmiel. After a careful selection, the clothing is sold to the needy at very cheap cost in the aid centers. The clothing that is unsuitable is cut into rags and sold to industries.
2.2 pounds of clothes is worth one Israeli shekel , when 2.2 pounds of cut rags is worth 4 Israeli shekels.
The rationale is that we will generate an independent income where the profits from the sale of the cut rags goes to help the needy through the activities of Pitchon Lev, the factories receive cheap rags and we promote the protection of the environment by saving water and causing a decrease in waste.
This is a win-win situation-you help the needy by enabling Pitchon Lev to recycle your old clothes and you are showing environmental responsibility.
