Bringing home to Israel’s homeless teens

Israeli Mariuma Ben Yosef was homeless for two years in her teens. Today her organization, Shanti House, has helped more than 46,000 homeless teens across Israel.
The Shanti House Association runs two homes for runaways: the Neve Tzedek Shanti House in Tel Aviv and the Desert Shanti House Youth Village, located on the road between Beer Sheva and Mitzpe Ramon, some 5 kilometers from Sde Boker. Photo courtesy
