Hapoel Tel Aviv's Education and Social Project (Mifalot) is the largest and most diverse sport for development organization in the Middle East, with over 300 programs serving 20,000 children and youth in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Mifalot harnesses the power of sport for educational enrichment and values education, to teach life skills to children with special needs, promote the integration and inclusion of newly arrived immigrants, create bonds of friendship between Israelis and Palestinians, and provide much needed assistance to children living in at-risk and disadvantaged environments. The programs build a sense of belonging and self-esteem for Moslem, Jewish, Christian, Bedouin and Druze children, who learn about and host each other and play on mixed sports teams - playing together and not against each other.
