Thousands of people all over the world depend upon World ORT for their education and training. For many, especially young Jewish people in the countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (Former Soviet Union), ORT schools and centres provide the first opportunity they have ever had to discover their Jewish identity and to learn about their rich history and traditions. For others, faced with really bleak employment prospects, ORT training is the lifeline that will enable them to start or re-start their careers, and support their families with dignity and pride.

ORT's educational activities take place on all five continents. In many countries ORT schools provide the Jewish community with the highest level of education available in the region while, at the same time, assisting lower income families to cover the tuition costs.

You can play your part in this vital work. Your donation to ORT however large or small will ensure that our programmes can continue. It will be a fitting tribute to the memory of your loved one.

Help to secure the future for our communities in memory of those who invested their lives and their love in us. ORT's programmes exist because of your donations.
