Shanti House - Forty Years of Supporting

Youth in Crisis and Saving Live

Since 1984, Shanti House has opened its doors to at-risk and endangered youth aged 14-21, pioneering this vital mission in Israel. Young people from every corner of the country, all walks of life, and all communities find their way to Shanti Houses – we welcome everyone, regardless of religion, race, gender, nationality, or identity. We provide comprehensive emotional support, therapeutic care, and practical assistance to young people standing at life’s edge, helping them find their way back to society and toward a brighter future.

Holistic Care Approach

At Shanti House, we embrace diverse therapeutic methods to help young people heal and grow. Our mission is to empower youth and young adults with the tools they need to rebuild their lives and create their own future. We achieve this through professional training programs, personal empowerment workshops, and guidance in joining the workforce.

What Makes Our Home Special

The Shanti House Way is a unique therapeutic approach developed through years of hands-on experience by Mariuma Klein, founder and CEO of Shanti House. This method evolved from direct engagement with youth, carefully crafted to address the real, changing needs of teenagers and young adults in crisis.

What we offer

Shanti House serves as a true family environment, wrapping each young person in comprehensive care and support. Our residents receive personal mentoring, supervision, warm meals, homework assistance, and enrichment activities. Our dedicated team walks alongside them through every step of their journey, big or small. But what does this mean in practice?
