In their tiny shtetl more than two hours away from Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, sisters Tzipah and Sarah rely on JDC assistance for everything: food, medicines, heat-and even basic human companionship.
For more than 100 years, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) has been saving Jewish lives, building Jewish life, and transforming Jewish values into action that benefits all people in need. As the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian aid group, JDC today works in more than 70 countries and in Israel to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, create lasting connections to Jewish life, and provide disaster relief and development support for victims of natural and man-made disasters.
