Lone Immigrant Soldiers: Supporting lone soldiers after service
Every year, around 1,300 lone soldiers, who have flown to Israel without their families to serve in the IDF, complete their service. They volunteered to defend Israel out of deep conviction, but when their service ends, for many, the hardest chapter is just beginning. Unlike their Israeli peers, they have no parents or local support to help with housing, work, or emotional recovery.
Keren Hayesod-UIA, in partnership with The Jewish Agency for Israel, ensures that these young people are not alone. Through practical grants, coaching, and community programs, we support their next steps and help them build a life in Israel after their service.
