The goal of Beit Ruth is to give each young woman an opportunity to escape a life of distress, to stand on her own feet, to be able to properly raise children of her own, and to become a strong member of Israeli society. In the first stage, the girls will finish their high school studies and successfully complete their matriculation (“Bagrut”) requirements. They will then join the Israel Defense Forces, as all girls their age do. We aim to continue to support and work with these girls even after they have completed their army service as part of the second stage of treatment.

The number of at-risk girls between the ages of 14-18, awaiting placement outside the home, is increasing rapidly. The life story of each and every girl entails some form of physical or emotional abuse and in many cases a combination of both. Unfortunately it is a difficult task to identify these at-risk girls, for their suffering is silent to the outside world. They tend to manifest their rage by adopting patterns of self-abuse infliction.
To address this worrisome problem Beit Ruth is establishing a village for 200 girls and in the meantime, since 2006, is running a Hostel for 12 girls.

Together with the ministry of welfare we have developed an effective method to address the problem of teenage girls at risk in our nation.
The residents will be divided into small, supervised groups. These groups will provide the required attention and emotional support needed . Each group will be managed separately by a member of our professional staff, who will develop a close relationship with each girl to begin addressing the specific problems by her specific background.

We are now confident that this program is an effective solution for Israel's at-risk girls and we are eager to make our methods available to a larger number of young women in distress.
