“Driving to Succeed” program is on the road: gives “Zoharim” students the opportunity to get driver’s license after they leave the village and set out on their own.

A driver’s license seems to most of us to be something obvious, a basic requirement for conduct. Something that serves us in everyday life and allows us to manage our lives better. Sometimes a driver’s license is truly a basic requirement for employment, managing a family life, and more. For the students of the “Zoharim” youth village, who grew up outside the home, a driver’s license is much more than that! It gives the student the ability to trust himself, to know that he is not dependent on others, that he has another type of tool for progress and integration into society. That is why we opened the “Having a Habit of Success” program for the students, which gives them the opportunity to have a driver’s license after they leave the village and set out on an independent path. “Having a Habit of Success” is part of a program for rehabilitation, personal empowerment, and breaking out of the cycle of vulnerability. Its main goal is to enable the village students to achieve independence, integrate into employment, and expand opportunities. So if you see something shining on the road, these are not yellow vests but “Zoharim” village students.
