1633 France - 1848 Middle East - 1964 Ein Kerem

St. Vincent's heart was captured by the poor, when France was being revaged by epidemics and war. He began to serve them and was eventually asked to organize their care on the national level. He founded many international organizations, best known are the Priest of the Mission and the Daughters of Charity. He was the inspiration behind the founding of the St. Vincent DePaul Society.

Five Daugthers of Charity are full-time staff and resident. Their international organisation originated in France in 1633. They have worked in the Middle East 150 years and in Israel since 1886, so they have a long history of service to the disadvantaged.

Today, our home for the 58 handicapped children is staffed with local caregivers and 25 volunteers from all over the world, who join the sisters to take care of & are resonsible for the wellbeing of our children.
