“I am volunteering, it’s from the heart. It’s hard to learn, I know it,” Meaze reflects on his experience trying to learn a new language and seek higher education while balancing a full-time job and daily life. “I help where I can,” says Meaze, “I can teach, I can be an example.” Meaze joined our community in 2020 as a student wanting to dust off his English skills after nearly 8 years of learning Hebrew in order to integrate into his new home in Israel. In class, he realized his opportunity to give back to his community, to fellow Eritreans, Africans, and other people seeking asylum who made the same liberating journey he had to Israel. After completing his English class, he came to The Schoolhouse manager and asked how he could help. Before long, we welcomed him to our team as a teacher. We're so grateful he chose to be on our team.

The African Refugee Development Center is a grassroots, community-based nonprofit organization that was founded in 2004 by African asylum-seekers and Israeli citizens in order to protect, assist, and empower African refugees and asylum-seekers in Israel. ARDC began its work as a humanitarian aid organization, and over time has adapted to fit community needs. Currently, ARDC works to address gaps in services created by harsh governmental policies in 4 key sectors: education, livelihoods, advocacy, and rights empowerment. To date, ARDC has served over 15,000 asylum-seekers from a number of countries and operates various educational programs seeking to deepen the social and economic inclusion of asylum-seekers throughout Israel.
