IVN Fellow, Margalit Moshe's project was established in 2003 with the intention of integrating unemployed Jewish Ethiopian women into the Israeli society and economy. What started as social gathering, "Women Embroidering Andanet" now consists of 30 Ethiopian women living in Be'er Sheva who do their embroidering during the week at home and once a week meet with guides who help them with design, manufacturing, marketing & sales, etc.. The products consist of items such as chala or matza covers, table cloths, mezuzah cases, place mats and much more.

In a "youth oriented society" the aged sector finds itself rejected in a social, economic and cultural climate, which has no room for them. Today they live longer and have the desire to remain productive.
To alleviate this situation, IVN Fellow, Dr. Linda Mosek is creating valued occupational opportunities for the elderly by establishing a unique vocational center in Hod Hasharon, in the center of Israel. The project is operated by the elderly and serves a general population. In addition to its many services, the center provides work-related prospects in the form of a handicraft manufacturing factory, massage center, handicraft social responsibility workshops, a retail shop and future coffee shop; which sells amongst other things, handicraft kits, gift items and gift baskets.
