Founded in 1992 by Rabbi Eliezer Avtzon and a dedicated group of individuals, GJARN is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing non-sectarian humanitarian assistance and medical relief throughout the Newly Independent States of the Former Soviet Union, with the primary focus in Russia and Ukraine. GJARN also runs urgently needed programs in Israel and New York.
GJARN’s working philosophy rests on the fundamental principles of:
Helping people directly.
Developing a grassroots infrastructure.
Creating long-term solutions that enable people to become self-sufficient.
Wherever there is a need, that is where you will find GJARN’s humanitarian programs, reaching out to those in need.
GJARN also prides itself on its cooperative efforts. They partner with local, grassroots, non-profits in the countries in which they work. enabling them to reduce costs thereby making donated dollars go much further. Administrative costs are no more than 4%, enabling 96% of contributions to go directly into programs which feed hungry people. At the same time, by working hand in hand, GJARN is strengthening the local non-profits and helping them achieve self-sufficiency.
