To help progress the Druz community in Israel for the benefit of the Druz and for the State of Israel.

Why Now?
There is currently an identity crisis amongst the Druz population regarding their relationship to the
state of Israel. We founded the organization a year ago in an attempt to address this problem. The
crisis exists due to a lack of modern leadership, gaps in education and weak internal economics.

How do we plan to make a change?
We are already making a change; we currently operate 12 different projects. All founded and operated
by our members.
We targeted three areas of development:

(i) advocating leadership skills amongst the young,

(ii) building new communities, based on our members, for strengthening weak communities and

(iii) teaching Israeli society about the Druz population.

Why us?
We are an umbrella organization of more than 300 members, representing all the Druz villages
throughout the country. We represent the young leadership of the community, and are a group that
combines the Druz unique tradition with the will to progress. The Druz community is a small and
tightly knit community. We have succeeded in recruiting influential members including the first IDF
Druz combat pilot, the first Druz women who became a lecturer at the Haifa University, the first Druz
Professor and six Chairmen of NGOs. Among our members are many role models and we believe
that they are the people who can make a change.

Why are we looking for partners?
After a year on the ground, financed from monthly fee paid by members and based on our
volunteers, we want to make our next leap forward. We are eager to find partners that would help us
to take the projects listed above to the next level.

How does this relate to the Jewish cause?
The Druz have been fully dedicated to the building of the state, even prior to 1948. We see and act
as partners in building and preserving this country. However, there is a crisis in the status of the Druz
community and this will no doubt have a detrimental effect on the state of Israel. A solution to this
crisis is vital for the well being of the state of Israel.
