ISRAEL Beauty Salon
This remarkable lady owns a hair salon in Kfar Yasif, North District in Isreal. Unfortunately, due to COVID 19, she had to close her Salon doors permenantly and was not able to deliver her service to her many customers. Her plan was to move her salon to her home to continue to support them. Because of restrictions she was only able to recently open her doors to the public. Our loan helped her to renovate her new salon located at home, and she was also able to buy the necessary styling supplies and material. She wishes to one day offer styling courses to other women.
ABOUT ISRAEL
Israel is a country in the Middle East, located at the eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea. Also officially The State of Israel, is the only Jewish nation in the modern era. Israel is the only country in the world that has succeeded in reviving a dead language and using it as a national language. According to the National Insurance Institute's 2018 data, 21.2% of the Israeli population lives in poverty. These studies indicate that Israel has the highest poverty rate of all developed countries. As if this was not alarming enough, the statistics are even more dreadful when speaking about children living in poverty: 29.6% of the population (almost 1 in every 3 children). The country’s weaknesses are twofold: growing poverty and income inequality.
