A safe place to play. It’s what every child deserves.
For JNF’s 2022 Annual Campaign and Blue Box Rosh Hashanah, we raised funds to build protected playgrounds for at-risk children in the Negev. However, we can’t keep these kids safe, without your kindness and generosity.
For many children and their families in the Sha’ar HaNegev region, safety is a wish – not a reality. Over the last 15 years, they have lived in fear, as they live a life under fire.
In May 2021, the violence escalated, culminating in the worst attack yet – when a sophisticated Hamas missile struck a kindergarten.
Although the kindergarten was closed at the time, this incident highlighted the urgent need for safe play areas.

A critical need. An immediate impact.
JNF is partnered with the Sha’ar HaNegev communities to build green and protected environments for 14 kindergartens across the region. Because safe play should be a right, not a luxury.
Similarly, the playgrounds will provide protection against unpredictable threats.
An attack can occur at any time, on any day
– without warning
Kindergarten is a place where children should be safe.
