Why You’ll Love Working with Us

At Betzalel Foundation Ltd, we believe that sustainable transformation begins with practical solutions that improve everyday life. Through our programs, we work closely with farmers, families, and communities to create opportunities that strengthen livelihoods, improve nutrition, and promote environmental sustainability.

Improved Nutrition and Livelihoods Through Dairy Goats

Our dairy goat program has significantly benefited farmers by providing a reliable source of nutritious milk for household consumption. In addition to improving family nutrition, some farmers are able to sell surplus milk, creating an additional source of income and strengthening household financial stability.

Energy-Saving Cooking Solutions

The introduction of two-burner energy-saving stoves has brought meaningful improvements to farmers’ homes. These stoves are designed to be efficient and environmentally friendly, helping families reduce fuel consumption and cooking costs. They also allow households to cook faster and more safely while conserving natural resources.

Key benefits include:

  • Reduced fuel use and lower household expenses
  • Time savings through efficient cooking
  • Environmentally friendly technology
  • Improved heat retention for better cooking efficiency
  • Safer and more convenient cooking for families

Agricultural Support for Sustainable Income

Farmers have also benefited from banana tree seedlings, which provide both food and income opportunities. Families can consume the bananas for improved nutrition while also selling surplus produce in local markets, contributing to sustainable household livelihoods.

Relief Support for Vulnerable Communities

Betzalel Foundation is also committed to supporting communities during times of need. Through our relief initiatives, students and vulnerable communities in the ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Land) regions have received essential dry food supplies, helping to ease hardship and ensure that families and children have access to basic nutrition.
