Learn How Your Donation Is Directly Supporting the BGU Community
- Emergency Housing: The University has opened its doors to provide emergency housing for both BGU community members and evacuated families not directly affiliated with the university. The Eilat dormitories have been converted into temporary housing to accommodate those in need.
- Medical Support: BGU is housing medical professionals in our dorms to ensure that the critical healthcare services continue uninterrupted. BGU’s staff is working tirelessly to assist those in need, and their dedication is truly commendable.
- Sustenance: BGU understands the importance of food security during these trying times. To alleviate the burden on affected families, BGU is providing meals and basic provisions to all those housed in BGU’s temporary shelters.
- Reservist support: So far, 2,317 reservists belonging to the BGU community have already been called up for service while simultaneously managing devasting losses and emotional trauma. Your donation will enable BGU to help them continue their academic studies while also offering a myriad of supplemental services to support their families’ needs.
Students and faculty are taking action to support the Israeli community:
We acknowledge that these measures are only the beginning of a long journey toward recovery, and we are committed to assisting our community members every step of the way.
We also encourage our community to come together during this difficult period. Support one another, share your experiences, and reach out to those who may need a helping hand. We are Negev Strong, and together, we can overcome these challenges. As we move forward, we will continue to provide updates on the situation and any additional resources and support available. TOGETHER WE WILL PREVAIL
